Stirring Up the Ashes

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I’m stirring up the ashеs from an old love affair
To be certain nothing lingеrs 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

[Verse 4]
I was just a sacrifice to your lover’s pyre
A lamb led to the slaughter as my hopes reached 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
