Last Burning Ember

Every day I'm praying

For the words I keep from saying

I pray that we can talk this through

But I just can't get a hold on you

And I'm here, I feel like I never have before

So I try to keep my

That last burning ember

'Til the day that I go blind

I swore I'd never surrender

So many years since we lit the flame

So many years, now all that remains

Oh, is that last burning ember

Every night I'm pining

To mend the knot that isn't twining

His or mine, I will swing

Before I fall on my wedding ring

Though I'm starving, I would never ask for more

So I try to keep my

That last burning ember

'Til the day that I go blind

I swore I'd never surrender

So many years since we lit the flame

So many years, now all that remains

Oh, is that last burning ember

So I try to keep my

That last burning ember

'Til the day that I go blind

I swore I'd never surrender

So many years since we lit the flame

So many years, now all that remains

Oh, is that last burning ember
