Lyrics Yo La Tengo – Ashes
Text:
I put spots on a bird of paradise, snake eyes on a domino
When the bird devours the flower then you know
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Twisted branch of an aging sycamore
Spider veins across its leaves
Once I stood in its shadow
Watched the fire breathe
Blow on the fire
Ashes blow away
Blow on the fir
Ashes blow away
Ashes blow away
