Smoke and Ashes
I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talkAbout the trail you'd left of broken heartsAbout the sea of tears too wide to crossBut a little bad press has never scared me offSo I burned a path to figure outHow to get me some of what you got
I've got a red hot heartIf the talk is true your's is the sameAnd we should be togetherAnd let our passions fan love's flame
When I looked for you I almost passed you byYou were so cool and calm I thought my friends had liedBut I thought so much reserve must make you wild insideIt was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got
I've got a red hot heartIf the talk is true your's is the sameAnd we should be togetherAnd let our passions fan love's flame
I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mineI thought it was true love the way we complemented each otherBut my right is your wrongAnd when you're right then I'm left with nothingYour light and your heat have all been spentLeaving only smoke and ashesOnly smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heartAny your heart's as blue as the blood in your veinsI say there's fire down belowYou say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I'm crying all the timeSalty stinging tearsAnd mourning for the past carbon-dated yearsBut knowing now for certain that you were always rightBecause if a breeze could blow you out of my lifeIt's only smoke and ashes babyOnly smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heartAnd your heart's as blue as the blood in your veinsI say there's fire down belowYou say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I was blinded by devotionMy unwavering love for youSo blinded that I thought all your lies were trueBut now I know for certain since you've gone awayIt was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blazeOnly smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heartAnd your heart's as blue as the blood in your veinsI say there's fire down belowYou say it's only smoke and ashes babyOnly smoke and ashes baby,Baby...
