ashes and embers theres nothin so sad thats all thats left of the love that we had cause deep in the night on the wild side of town you were buildin the fire that burned it all down aint nothin here but a whisper of smoke driftin away with the promise you broke our dreams fell apart the night that i found you were buildin the fire that burned it all down we had a mansion a love on the hill filled it with passion faith and good will but all that remains is just dust on the ground cause you were buildin the fire that burned it all down you built the fire that burned it all down in the arms of a stranger there in the dark with no thought of the days when you lit a spark well everybody could see it for miles around you were building the fire that burned it all down we had a mansion a love on the hill filled it with passion faith and good will but all that remains is just dust on the ground cause you were buildin the fire that burned it all down you built the fire that burned it all down you lit the fire that burned it all down
