After The Fire Is Gone

And there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone.

The bottle is almost empty.

The clock's just now struck ten.

Darling I had to call you

to our favorite place again.

We know it's wrong for us to meet,

but the fire's gone out at home.

And there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone.

Love is where you find it

when you find no love at home.

And there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone.

Your lips are warm and tender.

Your arms hold me just right.

Sweet words of love you remember

that the one at home forgot.

Each time we say it's the last time,

but we keep hanging on.

And there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone.

Love is where you find it

when you find no love at home.

And there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone.

And there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone
