lyrics

I WORE ALL WHITE

Ashleigh once,
once I wore all white
in the wilderness of heart,
before I ran from those woods,
crying like eyes.
Drenched in dirt and dark.
Drenched in dirt and dark.

Ashleigh then,
it's been a hundred years,
and I am on the other side.
I am drying inside the light,
looking back at the black
from time to time.

And it is such a funny little thing,
how so quick we can forget
what that wilderness was like,
under the laughing, looming pines.
Drenched in dirt and dark.
Drenched in dirt and dark.

Ashleigh now,
now I don't promise.
I don't make promises anymore.
Like an electric fence,
there are things I will never touch again,
even the times when I was the one coming back for more.
I am like a little kid
putting a different finger
on the griddle, yes I did.
For you, here I come.
Back for more.

For the dirt and the dark
I wear on my sleeves
like two twin hearts.
For you I go back for more.
For you i go back for more.
Drenched in dirt and dark.
Drenched in dirt and dark.
