Lyrics
Burning Embers
V1
Burning embers of love I have for you
And after so long it surprises me too
My little secret that keeps me warm in the night
Burning embers still burning so bright
V2
Forget you, I know that’s what I should do
I’m like a dreamer when his morning comes too soon
And like an old sailor who cant get used to land
Burning embers still glowing in my hands
Chorus
Burning embers that I cant throw away
And words unspoken beg to know why I didn’t say
And it stands to reason that I don’t know what to do
With these burning embers of love I have for you
V3
Burning bridges with you is too hard for me
It leaves me hoping that they will just crash and burn for all to see
But I’m the worse for knowing my hopes are all in vain for these burning embers no longer have your flame
Chorus
Burning embers that I cant throw away
Cause I’m still hoping you’ll come back for them some day and it stands to reason that I don’t know what to do..
With these burning embers of love I have for you
And like an old sailor who can’t get used to land, burning embers still glowing in my hand.
