When You Let Me Go

© 2023 Susane Asher/Fuel for a Crisis Music

In the blush of morning
My eyes are filled with you
I see your face, can smell your hair
Can almost touch your skin
But you’re not really there

When you cried, it was like a thousand storms
When you looked my way, how the sun tried to come out
When you let me go, all the stars fell from the sky

I look out through the curtains
Of the years we’ve been apart
To find it’s raining memories
That trickle down the pane
And still can crush my heart

When you cried, it was like a thousand storms
When you looked my way, how the sun tried to come out
When you let me go, all the stars fell from the sky

The bars that lined my prison were built of love so strong
That I could never hope to break them down
So I dug my way out with a spoon
Only to want to find my way back in, my way back in...

I couldn’t live beside you
But without you, I was lost
You’d mixed a drink, a poison cup
Of passion laced with fear
And you drank up every last drop

When you cried, baby, it was like a thousand storms
When you looked my way, how the sun tried to come out
When you let me go, all the stars
one by one
they all fell from the sky

Cold Wind (B-side)

On a table in a small forgotten town
A clock ticks. It’s ticking down
Outside a cross burns deep into the night
While broken bodies swing in a cold wind

Rain come down on all these sins we’ve wrapped ourselves in
Rain come down and wash us clean

Cold wind blowing
Love is choking
Tears of angels falling in a blood stained sky

In the streets outside great halls of power
A dream breaks. It’s bleeding now
Toward hands raised up in fear and bodies on the ground
Another bullet flies and lead pipes swing round

Rain come down on years of sins we’ve wrapped ourselves in
Rain come down and wash us clean

Cold wind blowing
Love is choking
Tears of angels falling in a blood stained sky

This tragic empire is burning
I watch as it burns to the ground
We walk through the valleys of shadow
Where the untruths grow
And the dollars blow
In the cold wind

In the cold wind
The blind leading the blind
In the cold wind
Anger like a badge of pride
In the cold wind
How many more?
How many more must die?

Cold wind blowing
Time is closing in
How much longer must the angels cry?

Rain come down
Wash us clean
In the cold wind

Here In The Dark (Silent Tears)

© 2021 Susane Asher/Fuel for a Crisis Music

Here in the dark
I lie awake and watch the stars go
Shooting by my window
Here in the dark
I light a cigarette and wonder
What makes this world keep spinning round
Here in the dark
I dive into the pool of my mind
And I’m scared of what I might find
Here in the dark
When there’s too much noise in my head
The words you said cut through it loud and clear

In here, here in the dark. I’m so lost and broken
In here, here. if you were only near
Would I stop crying?

Here in the dark
All the faces you have shown me
Make my empty room less lonely
Here in the dark
Your eyes, they burn like bonfires
And they guide me through the shadows and the fear

In here, here in the dark. I’m so lost and broken
In here, here. if you were only near me
Would I stop crying?

When I see the sky spin outwards
I can feel so small
Sometimes I don’t feel a thing at all

In here, here, here in the dark. I’m so lost and broken
In here, here. If you were only near
Could I stop crying all these tears?
Silent tears
Silent tears

Forever Fell Like Leaves

© 2021 Susane Asher/Fuel for a Crisis Music

Time came to me, sat on my shoulder
Whispered his name
She said, "Unmoor your heart, the days are rolling"
I ran toward the clearing, I ran through the trees
Seeing all around,
Forever fall like leaves

Deep in a dream, I saw the moon rise
In that cold light, his eyes met mine
I fled, but still his gaze pursued me
I pushed out from the shoreline, I pushed off in the breeze
And where I looked back
Forever fell like leaves

Forever fell like leaves
Forever fell like leaves

Time on my own, I’m gone now
I turn my face toward open sea
A thousand miles of waves stretch out now
But still the wind lifts leaves around my feet

Where fate meets choice, the tides are shifting
You set a course. But can you hold the helm
When chance upends you?
I steered straight forward, I steered into the breach
Knowing just behind
Forever fell like leaves

Forever fell like leaves
Forever fell like leaves

Forever and ever
Fell like leaves

Diamond from the Rough

© 2021 Susane Asher/Fuel for a Crisis Music

There’s a place that you knew
Once upon a lost time
Where the summers were golden
And your heart was untied
You ran down a hidden trail to the sea
And you let the waves roll your dreams round your feet

Now there’s rocks to climb over
And the rivers don’t part
There is blood on the ground
And a stain on your heart
The cracks run deep behind lilacs and stone
But don’t you crumble. You weren’t born to let go

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, a diamond from the rough
A diamond from the rough
A diamond

On the slope there’s a humming
Where your love’s gone to ground
In your past there’s a cavern
Where the darkness bears down
The skies hang grey over hills of regret
You’re so scared of broken heroes. But close your eyes and take that step

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up

Rise up, rise up
Rise up, a diamond from the rough
A diamond from the rough

Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love

Falling Into You

Look at me and show me all the stories in your eyes
Whisper to me like the waves and fill the night with sighs
Let me wander over all the coastline of your skin
Then light a candle in your mind and ask me to come in

Now every step I take I walk on water
I’m falling into you
You are an ocean waiting to discover
I’m falling into you
I’m falling into you

Tell me all of how you feel in a language just your own
Speak to me with what you do, with words I’ve never known
Turn up every waiting stone and show me a new place
Catch a raindrop on your tongue and tell me how it tastes

Now every step I take I walk on water
I’m falling into you
You are an ocean waiting to discover
I’m falling into you
I’m falling into you

Now I read the book whose title is your name
I just can’t put it down; I hang on every page
Every sentence tells a brand new story
With each new word I want more of you
Endlessly, I’m falling into you

Gaze up at the colored clouds and show me what you see
Sleep beneath the naked moon, then tell me what you dreamed

I’m falling into you
I’m falling into you
I’m falling in…I’m falling in
I’m falling into you

Shadows Fill Your Eyes

Running round in circles in my head
Tangled up in all the things you said
I watch your sky grow dark and storms come down behind
To feed the torrents of the rivers in your mind

Staring through dark windows at your past
Trying all the locks, but they’re closed fast
I see you through the glass pace patterns in the floor
But I just can’t get close, can’t even find the door

Shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes
Shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes.

Running round in circles in my head
Chasing after stories still unsaid
How much I want to peel the wrapping from your heart
To walk into the rain and make the cloudbanks part.

But shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes
Shadows fill your eyes and rain falls down
Shadows fill your eyes

Rain falls down
Rain falls down and all around and
Shadows fill your eyes

In The End

So it seems, in the beginning was the end
Words of love turn into words of pain, again
Dark descends where once the world was afire
We tumble out of ecstasy into the mire

So it seems that everything we’d found got lost
Sweet summer dew turns into winter’s deepest frost
The day walks by in mourning garb, the stars wear veils of black
And voices all around me whisper, “Don’t look back”

And I’m lost in a city that has no light
And I wander through a forest of endless night
And the waves break overhead
As I wrestle with the words that you said
In the end

Despair grows like black flowers in a field once lush and green
As silence wraps a shroud around the world, again

And still I’m lost in a city that has no light
And I wander through a forest of endless night
And the waves break overhead
As I wrestle with the words that you said
In the end

Empty Wells

When we met, it felt like daylight
When we spoke, clocks stopped telling time
When we touched, the sky tore open
Why would I have dreamed we’d say goodbye?

And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse these flames that still burn high.

Where you walked, I planted seedlings
Where you smiled, I built a home
Where cracks took root, I patched them over
How could I have seen how deep they’d grow?

And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse these flames that still burn high, burn high

How many times
I’ve heard the lines
About how love can conquer all
But now I spend each day
My heart ablaze
With buckets growing dusty down the hall.

And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse the flames that still burn high, burn high.

And still this fire won’t go out
No matter how the days stretch out
And though I’ve drained every well dry
Can’t douse the flames that still burn high, burn high.

When we met, it felt like daylight
When we spoke, clocks stopped telling time
When we touched, the sky tore open
How could I have known it was a lie?
