The Blue Shadows - The Embers lyrics

rate me

(Billy Cowsill/Jeffrey Hatcher)

The embers keep burning

Long after the fire

Old memories returning

Like your voice on the wire

Oh 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 hast

Now two hearts are broken

True love is nothing to waste

But my memories are ashes

There's this haunting desire

Cuz the embers keep burning long after the fire

Oh and burn they will, right up until eternity

Not all the fire has burned

But I have learned this flame will reach no higher

Still the embers keep burning long after the fire

But 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
