golden ashes

Laura Mvula

I wore them pretty colours
And fancy feathers
Thought I could walk on water
Just like no other

Sometimes I don't wake up from dreaming
I'm shook for a minute
My screaming sounds like angels
No sign of danger

There she go making that wolf cry
There she go making them tears grow

Don't let me drown again, no
I lost my way again, I give in
Please don't let me drown again, oh no
I lost my way again, I give in

I cry the whole day long
Wore my tears in a sad song
Them scary power people
Tell m? I'm no equal
They feast lik? hungry lions
When I'm halfway up to zion

There she go making that wolf cry
There she go making them tears grow

Don't wait for me to die
You'll be waiting a long time
Even if the walls are caving in
I'll be listening

Don't let me drown again, no
I lost my way again, I give in
Please don't let me drown again, oh no
I lost my way again, I give in

Don't let me drown again, no
I lost my way again, I give in
Please don't let me drown again
I lost my way again

Don't let me drown again, no
I lost my way again, I give in
Please don't let me drown again (Please don't let me drown again)
I lost my way again, I give in (I lost my way)

Don't let me drown again
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown again
