After the Fire Is Gone

There's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

The bottle's almost empty and the clock has 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 as 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 and your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember that the one at home forgot
Each time, you say is 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

Love is where you find it when you find no love at home
Well, there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone
There's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone
