Lyrics
Verse 1
Ashes on my pillow, cinders in the rain, a jealous fire
A candle in the window, smothered by the pain of unconnected love
Calling out to an empty morning, echoes die in vain
I hear the thunder, its early warning and memories of the days it took my lady.
Chorus
Right outside my door, right outside my lady walks, my lady walks on by
Down inside my head, deep inside my lady talks, she talks on wires
Tangled me up, strangled my lady walks, she walks through fires
She wore me down, she wore me down..aaah
She tore me down, she tore me down,
Remnants of fire, burns within my eyes.
(piano solo)
Verse 2
Sacrificed a feeling, sacrificed a friend, I'd sacrifice again.
Time is not the answer, time is not the end, no time can help me.
Calling out to an empty morning, whispers die away
I hear the thunder, its early warning, the ember still remains, I lost my lady.
Chorus 2
Right outside my door, right outside my lady walks, my lady walks on by
Down inside my head, deep inside my lady talks, she talks on wires
Tangled me up, strangled my lady walks, she walks on fires,
She wore me down, she wore me down..aaah
She tore me down, she tore me down,
Remnants of fire, burns within my eyes.
Remnants of fire, Remnants of fire, Remnants of fire
