Embers to ash

He must be in with the gods
The man across from you
Sitting face-to-face
Close enough to sip the sweetness
Of your voice
It cools over the noise of this crowd

And what excites my mind
Is when he turns away
Shifting just enough to reveal your face
A moment of your eyes
They fly, they shine over this crowd

Still I'm sitting here idle
Thin flame in the air
Inch by inch I let my eyes close
Embers burn into ash
Embers burn into ash

Shoulders hide you again
But I can still hear
His voice give way to yours
Your laugh, it glitters silver
Light and free
Out loud, fast thunder in my ears

Still I'm sitting here idle
Thin flame in the air
Inch by inch I let my eyes close
Embers burn into ash
Embers burn into ash
Embers burn into ash
Embers burn into ash
