[Verse 1]
The barn’s still standing, but the roof caved in,
Like the weight of the years just gave in to the wind.
That old oak tree, where we carved our names,
Is split down the middle, like our hearts broke the same.
[Chorus]
Ashes in the wind, whispers on the hill,
The past keeps chasing, but the world stands still.
I tried to bury it deep, but it rises again,
These heartbreak memories, like ashes in the wind.
[Verse 2]
The flood took the bridge where we used to meet,
Now it’s just muddy water and ghosts at my feet.
Your laughter echoes through the fields at dusk,
But all that’s left here is silence and dust.
[Prechorus]
I keep running, but I never get far,
Every mile just leads to where you are.
[Chorus]
Ashes in the wind, whispers on the hill,
The past keeps chasing, but the world stands still.
I tried to bury it deep, but it rises again,
These heartbreak memories, like ashes in the wind.
[Bridge]
Every fire burns out, but the smoke always stays,
It clings to the edges of my loneliest days.
I’ve packed up and left, but the hurt never goes,
It follows like shadows, wherever I roam.
