Embers
clear out the embers and stay light
walk slow and keep your head
the rest and the road
a chance once lost
for you to make it home
you burned out the yard to start clean
the boy with the shaky hand
new rooms on the square
a sudden goodbye
leaving me and the moving van
a song for the man on the hill
turned down
your voice is so clear
and if the angels learn where you lie now
let them take you and hold you near
