Halo of Ashes

She wears a halo of ashes
 Specter on the wind
 Waits on me so patiently
 I no longer can pretend
 Sky lies a thousand miles below
 Stars shine and the moon is clear
 With nothing I can only warn
 Won't you be left near here
 I've been a long, long time away
 With one foot in the grave
 Glorified in the dying of the sun
 My angel pulls me closer
 As my poison she crawls through
 Walks with me so silently
 I no longer can refuse
 Tomorrow my thousand miles behind
 Stars shine and the moon below
 Wake me where you find me
 Pretend you don't know
 I've been a long, long time away
 With one foot in the grave
 Glorified in the dying of the sun
 She wears a halo of ashes
 Specter on the wind
 Waits on me so patiently
 I no longer can pretend
 Tomorrow my thousand miles behind
 Face painted in the moon below
 Wake me where you find me
 Pretend you don't know
 I've been a long, long time away
 With one foot in the grave
 Glorified in the dying of the sun
 I've been a long, long time away
 With one foot in the grave
 Glorified in the dying of the sun
