smoke rises from the gentle
embers you stoke in my
soul which reaches out for
you

slow hazy kisses like the
rain that hits the window
pane, pain for you, my
love

tell me why you leave me
tell me where you go
say you'll always love me
or just say you'll always love

in you i find my burning
passion, lit like leaping
flames upon my heart by
you

echoes of a hard found
girl that reaches for your
arms must sound like me to
you

you tell me once again
all the things you've said before
my heart skips a beat
i'll love forever more
you

or just your slow charm
that tells me you'll always love

dying flames
