Bed of Coals

Have you ever tried to start a fire When the wood's still green
And the rain is coming down
That's where I think we are right now
Both fanning a flame that's already burned out
Hey now

And I know I could blame myself,
But we both know there's enough to go around
And I still remember how hard we fell
But everything we had lies in ashes on the ground
Hey now

We can watch the embers die
We don't even have to cry
Just watch 'em fade into the breeze
And when the cold comes in
I'll still remember when
Our love burned wild and burned free
But the fire has grown weak
And the flames are getting low
And the only thing left is a bed of coals

And I hope you can find a spark
That lights you up and turns your life around
But don't worry, I'll still keep my glow
Yeah, I'll shine like a star when the sun goes down
Hey now

So let's watch the embers die
We don't even have to cry
Just watch 'em fade into the breeze
And when the cold comes in
I'll still remember when
Our love burned wild and burned free
But the fire has grown weak
And the flames are getting low
And the only thing left is a bed of coals
Yeah, you left me laying here on a bed of coals
