Ashes of Love

Thunder and lightning on the top of the mountain
Our secret heaven lying in sin
Riding so high, had a long way to fall
Ashes of love, carried off on the wind
Ashes of love, gone with the wind

We were so high on the top of that mountain
Two people wrapped up in one skin
Where did it go, the fire dimmed and died
Ashes of love, carried off on the wind
Ashes of love, gone with the wind

Our world was ablaze, with the sweetest hunger
The saddest words, what might have been
Another time or place, things might have been different
Ashes of love, carried off on the wind

End of the beginning, or beginning of the end
The game we were playing, no way to win
Love drifted away, slowly disappeared
Ashes of love, carried off on the wind
Ashes of love, gone with the wind
