Stirring up the Ashes

歌詞

I’m stirring up the ashes of an old flame of mine Stomping any ember that may still be left behind If I find the spark still glowing from the love that we once knew Then I’ll keep stirring ashes till I’ve forgotten you When flames of love are leaping they seem to seek the sky But a wisp of wilting water was your each and every lie The flame that once was raging has simmered to the ground And I’m stirring ashes to be sure you’re not around I’m stirring up the ashes from an old love affair To be certain nothing lingers to be sure that I don’t care A coal left unattended may be tempted by the wind To flame up in a romance that I never want again I was just a sacrifice to your lover’s power A lamb led to the slaughter as my hopes reach high and higher Something subtle may be buried in those ashes deep and gray So I’ll keep stirring ashes to be sure you stay away
