Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They shut the gate on me
left me in the rain
said I was a burden
said I brought them shame
So I took my sister
wrapped her in my coat
one stolen crust of bread
and a broken little hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I walked through the nettles
I walked through the snow
with a baby in my arms
and nowhere left to go
[Chorus]
Ash and crown
I held you up
Ash and crown
with empty hands
You grew tall
you wore the gold
Ash and crown
you brought me home (home)
[Verse 2]
I learned to mend your платье
by the firelight dim
counting every berry
so the winter wouldn't win
You laughed like a prayer
when the river thawed
I gave you my last spoon
my last name, my last god
[Pre-Chorus]
And I watched you running
soft as spring
from a girl with torn-up shoes
to a queen in silk and rings
[Chorus]
Ash and crown
I held you up
Ash and crown
with empty hands
You grew tall
you wore the gold
Ash and crown
you brought me home (home)
[Bridge]
Now the hall is shining
and the tables bow
all the lords are quiet
when you say my name out loud
You put a cloak on my shoulders
you kissed the scars I kept
said the world was mean to me
but it never got the best
[Final Chorus]
Ash and crown
you held me up
Ash and crown
with gentle hands
I gave you my whole life
you gave it back
Ash and crown
my little queen (queen)
