After the Fire Is Gone

Each time we say is the last time
After the fire is gone
When you find no love at home
That the one at home forgot
But the fire's gone out at home
Your lips are warm and tender
Darlin' I had to call you
Your arms hold me just right
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
Sweet words of love you remember

But we keep hangin' on
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
The bottle is almost empty
The clock just now struck ten

After the fire is gone
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
Love is where you find it

Love is where you find it
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
We know it's wrong for us to meet
And there's nothin' cold as ashes

To our favorite place again
