LYRICS
V1
Honey in my hand
I’d hold your heart if it weren’t for the sting
Honey in my hand
So it will be
Feel the wishbone bend
All the hidden marrow suddenly breaks
Feel the wishbone bend
So much it aches
CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both
V2
So who tied these knots
Bound up like thieves in the back of my mind
Who tied these knots
Around you and I
CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both (2x)
V3
And as the days turn dust
On all the fallen leaves all shining like gold
As the days turn dust
Will we grow old
This love is such
Sometimes I miss you more in my arms
This love is such
We fall apart
CH
Had we known
How love and misery grow
Blood and bone
We’re made of both (x2)

LYRICS
V1
So I burned all the old days down
On a funeral pyre
And I stood with my arms stretched out
Like a pillar of fire of fire - of fire
In the coals of a wordless sound
I am here to inquire
I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
CH
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
V2
Well I carried it down to the sea
And I held it up higher
Yeah I fell on my bended knees
And I beckoned the tide - the tide
Oh take this away from me
On your fathoms of brine
‘Cause I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
CH
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside
REFRAIN
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
V3
And when I looked in the depths of my hands
I could see I was blind
As the glow of the day now was wrapped
In a cloak of the night - the night
Now it seems all the answers I had
Are the hardest to find
And I need to know tonight (tonight tonight tonight)
I need to know tonight (tonight tonight)
CH
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside
(Ooh ooh)
What the dust and the ashes
Have fashioned inside - inside (2x)
REFRAIN
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

LYRICS
V1
I hear what you are saying
I’m just a little wary
Of how the words are carried
Behind your teeth
Malice in your translation
Replay the accusations
Until the final phrases
Cut like defeat - cut like defeat
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (2x)
V2
So often reenacted
Shadows of darkened habit
Tongue like a hidden dagger
Quick to release
Time now to pause and wonder
How we’ve been torn asunder
Long are the years and moments
Lost in between - lost in between
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (2x)
V3
Fury the fire that crumbles
All else reduced to rubble
Gather the poison plunder
Dead at our feet
One flame can flicker forth
Until it ignites a chorus
Destroy the spark that bore it
Ashes to dreams - ashes to dreams
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (4x)

Ooh
Oh breathe
Just breathe

Ashes to dreams - ashes to dreams
Won’t you let your heart breathe
Ashes to dreams
CH
Drop your guard now
Put down your arms
Won’t you let your heart breathe (3x)
