Smoke And Ashes - Lyrics by Chapman Tracy


Lyrics
I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk About the trail you'd left of brokenhearts About the sea of tears too wide to cross But a little bad presshas never scared me off So I burned a path to figure out hoe to get mesome of what you got I've got a red hot heart If the talk is true yoursis the same and we should be together And let our passions fan love'sflame When I looked for you I almost passed by you You were so cool andcalm I thought my friends had lied But I thought so much reserve mustmake you wild inside It was there and then that I knew I had to get mesome of what you got I've got a red hot heart if the talk is true yoursis the same And we should be together and let our passion fan love'sflame I thought I'd won your heart when I held your hand in mine Ithought it was true love the way we complemented each other But my rightis your wrong and when your right then I'm left with nothing
Your lightand your heart have all been spent leaving only smoke and ashes Onlysmoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blueas the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it'sonly smoke and ashes baby I'm crying all the time salty stinging tearsand mourning for the past carbon-dated years But knowing now for certainthat you were always right Because if a breeze could blow you out of mylife it's only smoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby I've got ared hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I saythere's fire down below You say it's only smoke and ashes baby I wasblinded by devotion My unwavering love for you So blinded that I thoughtall your lies were true But now I know for certain since you've goneaway It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze Only smoke andashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as theblood in your veins i say there's a fire down below You say it's onlysmoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby Baby...
