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
