Ashes Of Yesterday

The Steeldrivers


Ashes of yesterday
Too cold to re-kindle, too little too late
Ashes of yesterday
How long 'till they all fade away?

The heart has a way of remembering the good
But forgetting the bad a little more than I should
After the tears and the troubles we had
There's still all the spaces between good and bad

Ashes of yesterday
Too cold to re-kindle, too little too late
Ashes of yesterday
How long 'till they all fade away?

All the past little pictures some faint and some strong
They come back around when they oughta be gone
They come uninvited, they come unaware
To carry me back like the flame was still there

Ashes of yesterday
Too cold to re-kindle, too little too late
Ashes of yesterday
How long 'till they all fade away?

Ashes of yesterday
Ashes of yesterday
Ashes of yesterday
