Deva Premal — Free Spirit - Ashes To Ashes lyrics

Lyrics

Spirit of the river, I can hear you
I feel as if I’m deep inside your soul
I see you laughing, intoxicated dancing
Will you carry me with you when I’m gone?
Spirit of the forest, I’ll be with you
I’ve traveled far to be among your kind
Now you’re teaching me to live among your people
I’m so far from the world I left behind
Ashes to ashes
Sermons in stone, oh how time passes
We’re here and then we’re gone
And all that remains
When we’re free of our chains
Is the love we shared
The love we shared
Mother earth, what can I give back to you?
As you carry me, carry me to my rest
Even as I bow to the turning of your seasons
As I lay my head upon your breast
Ashes to ashes
Sermons in stone, oh how time passes
Ashes to ashes
We’re here and then we’re gone
And all that remains
When we’re free of our chains
Is the love we shared
The love we shared
You’re a free spirit now
You’re a free spirit
