Embers

THE EMBERS KEEP BURNING LONG AFTER THE FIRE

OLD MEMORIES RETURNING

LIKE YOUR VOICE ON THE WIRE

THOUGH OUR LOVE’S IN ASHES

YOU’RE STILL MY ONE DESIRE

AND THE EMBERS KEEP BURNING

LONG AFTER THE FIRE

UNKIND WORDS WERE SPOKEN

BUT WE SAID THEM IN HASTE

NOW TWO HEARTS ARE BROKEN

TRUE LOVE IS NOTHING TO WASTE

BUT MY MEMORIES ARE ASHES

AND THERE’S THIS HAUNTING DESIRE

‘CAUSE THE EMBERS KEEP BURNING

LONG AFTER THE FIRE

OH AND BURN THEY WILL

RIGHT ON UNTIL ETERNITY

NOW ALL THE FIRE HAS BURNED BUT I HAVE LEARNED

THIS FLAME WILL REACH NO HIGHER

STILL THE EMBERS KEEP BURNING

LONG AFTER THE FIRE

NOW MY MEMORIES ARE ASHES

THAT LEAVE THIS HAUNTING DESIRE

AND THE EMBERS KEEP BURNING LONG AFTER THE FIRE

YES THE EMBERS KEEP BURNING LONG AFTER THE FIRE
