Frozen In The Ashes

(Verse 1)
We carved our names in the willow tree
Under a sky so wild and free
Your hand in mine, the world stood still
Love was a fire, a force, a thrill

(Verse 2)
The moon would rise, and you’d pull me close
Soft-spoken vows no one else knows
We swore our hearts would never fade
But even stone can break with age

(Chorus)
Now the wind sings songs of sorrow
Through the streets where we would roam
You were my light, my heart, my shadow
Now I walk this world alone

(Verse 3)
Your lips grew cold, your touch turned thin
A stranger stood where you had been
Love’s flame can die without a sound
Leaving only smoke around

(Bridge)
Did he kiss you softer? Did he say my name?
Did he pull you under, set your soul aflame?
Tell me, darling, did you try to fight
Or did you slip into the night?

(Chorus)
Now the wind sings songs of sorrow
Through the streets where we would roam
You were my light, my heart, my shadow
Now I walk this world alone

(Outro)
I still see you in the dying glow
Of cigarette sparks in the frozen snow
Love is a fire, and fire will die
But the smoke still lingers in the sky
