| [00:01.76] |
|
| [00:13.58] |
The first time I met Davey it was 1985 |
| [00:18.88] |
|
| [00:19.83] |
We were three sheets to the wind |
| [00:22.27] |
|
| [00:23.25] |
And a couple of tokes over the line |
| [00:26.31] |
But I've replayed that moment |
| [00:28.88] |
|
| [00:29.43] |
Like a movie in my mind |
| [00:31.87] |
|
| [00:32.91] |
The first time I met Davey it was 1985 |
| [00:38.37] |
|
| [00:45.34] |
The next time I saw Davey it |
| [00:48.17] |
Was at a high school dance |
| [00:50.87] |
|
| [00:51.67] |
He was with my best friend Mary |
| [00:54.20] |
|
| [00:54.73] |
I was singin' with the band |
| [00:57.36] |
|
| [00:58.20] |
My life passed before me in |
| [01:01.52] |
That passing glance |
| [01:04.09] |
And I knew I'd never be the same again |
| [01:08.45] |
|
| [01:10.20] |
And I sing |
| [01:10.76] |
Davey runs through the roses |
| [01:13.23] |
|
| [01:14.20] |
And Davey runs through my mind |
| [01:16.41] |
|
| [01:17.43] |
Thinkin' that the road I chose |
| [01:19.39] |
Was the best one at the time |
| [01:22.47] |
|
| [01:23.47] |
Those mem'ries they're just moments |
| [01:26.14] |
|
| [01:26.86] |
You wish would never end |
| [01:29.18] |
|
| [01:30.07] |
But they never stay |
| [01:31.60] |
They just float away |
| [01:32.95] |
|
| [01:33.48] |
Like ashes in the wind |
| [01:35.87] |
|
| [01:43.45] |
Davey married Mary and went |
| [01:47.03] |
On with his life |
| [01:48.45] |
|
| [01:49.58] |
So I went and found a husband |
| [01:52.32] |
|
| [01:53.21] |
And tried to be a wife |
| [01:55.24] |
|
| [01:56.37] |
But I knew from 'I Do' |
| [01:59.24] |
Deep down it wasn't right |
| [02:01.73] |
|
| [02:02.44] |
And that's why I'm lookin' back alone tonight |
| [02:06.98] |
|
| [02:08.53] |
And I sing |
| [02:09.30] |
Davey runs through the roses |
| [02:11.47] |
|
| [02:12.56] |
And Davey runs through my head |
| [02:14.83] |
|
| [02:15.89] |
Wishin' that the road I chose |
| [02:17.97] |
Was another one instead |
| [02:20.94] |
|
| [02:21.89] |
Those mem'ries they're just moments |
| [02:24.46] |
|
| [02:25.11] |
You pray will never end |
| [02:27.69] |
|
| [02:28.38] |
But they never stay |
| [02:29.81] |
They just float away |
| [02:31.76] |
Like ashes in the wind |
| [02:34.15] |
|
| [02:36.55] |
The minutes turn to days |
| [02:38.91] |
|
| [02:39.63] |
And the days they turn to years |
| [02:42.32] |
|
| [02:43.18] |
And a lifetime you can waste |
| [02:45.73] |
|
| [02:46.41] |
When you're runnin' from your fears |
| [02:50.13] |
|
| [03:04.19] |
The last time I saw Davey it was 1999 |
| [03:09.55] |
|
| [03:10.75] |
We had gathered all together |
| [03:13.22] |
|
| [03:14.09] |
We had come to say goodbye |
| [03:16.86] |
|
| [03:17.64] |
To the heart of an old soul |
| [03:20.03] |
|
| [03:20.62] |
Who was far too young to die |
| [03:23.57] |
|
| [03:24.48] |
And in the still you could hear the angels cry |
| [03:28.73] |
|
| [03:30.37] |
And I sing |
| [03:31.17] |
Davey runs through the roses |
| [03:33.54] |
|
| [03:34.37] |
And Davey danced through my life |
| [03:36.82] |
|
| [03:37.43] |
I can see him up there with Moses |
| [03:39.90] |
|
| [03:40.63] |
Right next to Jesus Christ |
| [03:43.07] |
|
| [03:43.99] |
While I'm standin' at the crossroads |
| [03:47.17] |
Wonderin' what's around the bend |
| [03:50.01] |
|
| [03:50.90] |
He's miles from here |
| [03:52.54] |
Beyond the atmosphere |
| [03:54.73] |
Just ashes in the wind |
| [03:57.38] |
|
| [03:59.57] |
I can see him rise into the sky |
| [04:02.44] |
|
| [04:03.27] |
Just ashes in the wind |
