A song about grief and trying to erase some of the tangible evidence.
All true.
Lyrics:
Sweeping the Ashes
The thing that leaves me nonplussed is not that it burns
But after all that heat
After all that change
So much remains
I burnt your picture
Always loved that picture
I still have it of course
Burnt the copy I made to go on the wall
To show the first man I loved after you were a long time gone
He couldn’t have all of me
That I was still yours
And so were the walls
The post was delayed it arrived the same day he did
I was seen to change the picture
The subtle suggestion that I was still grieving
More like shouting
He heard
I burnt your picture
Tonight burnt your picture
It felt right
I thought it all eaten in the flames
But the shock is, how much remains
