Blackie's Wake

ASH & STONE

Picture frames tilt, shadows of time

A key in the attic, is it a sign

Curtains move slow in the pale moon light

Echoes of old, hidden from sight

Footsteps I swear I can almost hear

Rocking chair creaks, i sense you are near

When touching the wall, vibrations of time

Your heart is the echo that answers to mine

Come to me through the ash and the stone

A hundred years of being alone

Across the divide, through the dust on the floor

I’m waiting to love you some more.

I sense your presence when I speak your name

A breathe in the nursery, now nothing's the same

Did you sit and play in this hollow space

If I turn my back, will you run through the door

Old brass coins with a tarnished date

Ticking like clocks against our fate

I read your name in the faded ink

And feel you there as the shadows sink

Come to me through the ash and the stone

A hundred years of being alone

Across the divide, through the dust on the floor

I’m waiting to love you some more.

Come to me through the ash and the stone

A hundred years of being alone

Across the divide, through the dust on the floor

I’m waiting to love you some more.

INSPIRATION

Part of the official soundtrack collection for Between The Walls (inspired by the Lydia Rose stories).

Growing up in that century home at 160 East Street, you learned quickly that a house retains memories. "Ash & Stone" captures the chilling, romantic moment when the veil between the present and a century-old longing wears paper-thin. From a key discovered in the attic to the creak of a rocking chair and the soft breath in a quiet nursery, every corner holds a whisper of someone who was once there.

This song is Lydia’s emotional realization that she is not alone in the shadows. As she touches the plaster and feels the vibrations of time, the music becomes her call across the divide, bridging a hundred years of solitude to connect with a soul that has been waiting.
