lyrics

I’m raking through the ashes
Now the fire has died down
Burnt letters and dispatches
Embers spread around
There’s a few un-singed remains
Not consumed by the flame
Old memories of passion, pique
And pain
I’m raking through the ashes
To find out what remains

I’m sifting through the cinders
Incinerated love
Charred reminders
Of all the things - that I had grown fond of
I guess I should have used a little more kerosene
Burn down the pyre of all my dreams
Build a fire that would render
My slate clean
I’m sifting through the cinders
And finding my old dreams

I’m raking through the ashes
To find out what remains
I’m raking through the ashes
To see what I can save
