WHEN THE HOT FIRE BURNS DOWN (lyrics)

WHEN THE HOT FIRE BURNS DOWN (lyrics) * (verse 1) * I always heard that your love was unkind, but when I walked by, your eyeswere struckblind I wanted to hold you and go back in time, so I could have shown you why youshould stay mine, * (verse 2) * In my dreams I shake you and make you see In my dreams I can make you come home with me In the morning I grasp why my dreams are futile In the morning I know why theywill never come true. * (Chorus) * I knew it was useless, thinking out loud on a dying love thatIcouldn’t give up But the coals, they burn brightest when the hot fire burns down And it’s tough to forget when it never goes out. * (Verse 3) * I havealways heard bout love’s sweet revenge But I just found out what I should have known then how you can’t fence a horse that’s determined to run And you can’t stop a man who's hell bent on fun * (verse 4) * You can keep any man enslavedthrough his passions But his mind wanders elsewhere nomatter what happens In my dreams I can make you stay here with me But the dawn bringsa dose ofmy harsh reality * (Chorus) * I knew it was useless, thinking out loud on a dying love that Icouldn’t give up But the coals they burn brightest when the hot fire burns down, and it’s tough to forget when it never goes out. * WordPlaya, February 22, 2010
