Porcupine Tree My Ashes lyrics

All the things that I needed, I wasted my chances
I have found myself wanting
When a mother and father gave me their problems
I accepted them all
Nothing ever expected, I was rejected
But I came back for more

And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky
Where a boy rides on a bike but never smiles
And my ashes fall on all the things we said
On a box of photographs under the bed, the bed

I will stay in my own world
Under the covers, I will feel safe inside

A kiss that will burn me, cure me of dreaming
I was always returning

And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child that I forgot
And my ashes fade among the things unseen
And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys

And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales
Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails, distant sails
Sails, sails
