Lyrics

VERSE
She built a fire, sat by the phone
The next thing she knew it was comin' up dawn
She stood up, looked around
Saw nothing, just her boots on the ground

CHORUS
She's cold and so alone
The fire they had built has surely gone out
These few days were the longest she'd known
And they left her with no doubt
So this morning she burned the memory

VERSE
Their years together, far less than forever
Not what she planned; he'd always be her man
But he left without warnin,' gone without a trace
There must be a reason he left with such haste

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/VERSE
With love now on fire, molten to the core
She said goodbye to what she was before
She turned to see the car in the drive
But whoever it was, she did not recognize

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, this cold mornin' she burned the memory
