The Cold Caress

Scarring white paper with a typewriter,

stark impressions left behind.

You twist like words, a cadence of murder.

You strike the ground when the sun shines.

(chorus)

Send the ashes into the wind,

let the cold caress begin

and as the ashes fade we watch you go into the waves.

I saw something in the mirror move,

a face disappear into the room.

Like a film in rewind you remain there all the time,

and once again you repeat the scene.

A destiny of card thirteen in the cold caress.

(chorus)

Send the ashes into the wind,

let the cold caress begin

and as the ashes fade we watch you go into the waves.

Throw the bones and read the signs,

repeat this verse and walk the line.

Underwater within the waves

the cold caress takes you away,

pulls you in like the undertow.

Dive on in and just let go.
