David Knopfler King Of Ashes Lyrics

King Of Ashes Lyrics

King of Ashes

I’m The King of Ashes
Nothing from the flame
survives
Hands cannot turn the tides
I have been consumed

The road
runs straight from Tarsus
But I am mystified
I would you were by my
side
For these are mortal wounds
These are mortal wounds

They
cannot hear my plea
They will not play my tunes
Melodies in rented
rooms
The price for seein’ true

But I can’t court fashion
Let
me be who I am
Far from these savage lands
I will be renewed
I will be
renewed

The King of Ashes
And whoever’s by my side
Across the
great divide
Marry, I’ll love you

The King of Ashes
My heart is
open wide
I pray you’re satisfied
It’s all that I can do
It’s
all that I can do
