Golden Ashes Song Lyrics

Golden Ashes by 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 from bleeding
And my screaming sound like angels
No sign of danger

There she go mekin’ dem wolf cry, oh
There she mekin’ dem tears cry, ooh

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, pour my tears in a sad song
Dem scary power people tell me I’m no equal
They feast like hungry lions, but I’m halfway up to Zion

There she go mekin’ dem wolf cry, oh
There she mekin’ dem tears cry, ooh

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 lost my way)

Don’t let me drown again
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me drown again
