Song Description

Burning Embers are feelings for someone I lost romantically, feelings that just wont quite die- as embers of a fire that once burned brightly but have long since died.

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.
