after the fire is gone

love is where you find it

when you find no love at home

and there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone

the bottle is almost empty

the clock just now struck ten

darling

i had to call you

to our favorite place again

we know it's wrong for us to meet

but the fires gone out at home

and there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone

love is where you find it

when you find no love at home

and there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone

your lips are warm and tender

your arms hold me just right

sweet words of love you remember

that the one at home forgot

each time we say it's the last time

oh but we keep hanging on

and there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone

love is where you find it

when you find no love at home

and there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone

no there's nothing cold as ashes

after the fire is gone
