The embers keep burning
Long after the fire
Old memories returning
Like your voice on the wire

Oh our love's in ashes
You're still my one desire
And the embers keep burning long after the fire

Unkind words were spoken
But we said them in hast
Now two hearts are broken
True love is nothing to waste

But my memories are ashes
There's this haunting desire
Cuz the embers keep burning long after the fire

Oh and burn they will, right up until eternity
Not all the fire has burned
But I have learned this flame will reach no higher
Still the embers keep burning long after the fire

But my memories are ashes
That leave this haunting desire
And the embers keep burning long after the fire
Yes the embers keep burning long after the fire
