Ashes Lyrics - Yo La Tengo

I put spots on a bird of paradise, snake eyes on a domino 

When the bird devours the flower then you know 

Blow on the fire ashes blow away 

Blow on the fire ashes blow away 

Twisted branch of an aging sycamore 

Spider veins across its leaves 

Once I stood in its shadow, watched the fire breathe 

Blow on the fire ashes blow away 

Blow on the fire ashes blow away, ashes blow away
