Ashes Remain

You're spilling beer on yourself on stage

I'm trapped by you in your element

You're trading kissing for cigarettes

Rock and roll be with you

You wear black when you're blue

Fight for your rights and for your women too

I'm seeing painted signs all over you

Scars are healing

When the dust rises again

When you're feeling lost and afraid

Just lay down water and I'll drown

When the storm rages on

And crashes through at the break of dawn

I'll light your way to a brighter day

Because where there was fire ashes remain

You belong in the age of rock and roll

When it was young and Jim was a soul

You're poor obscure and misunderstood

Punk rock be with you

You flood yourself with poison

And when the moon falls down again

You'll chase it to the depths of hell

I think I'd follow you

When the dust rises again

When you're feeling lost and afraid

Just lay down water and I'll drown

When the storm rages on

And crashes through at the break of dawn

I'll light your way to a brighter day

Because where there was fire ashes remain
