Lyrics
The logs in the fireplace glow hot tonight With hisses and pops and the smell of firelight He sits on the rug thinking if she were here She sits on the couch far away though near The appeal of the fire no longer exists For her with him she would just as soon sit Alone and imagine a different place A different fire and a different face Something’s burning but not for you It’s so hot but she’s so cool You can’t burn ashes it’s all used She ain’t got no fire anymore Something’s burning but not for you It’s so hot but she’s so cool You can’t burn ashes it’s all used She ain’t got no fire anymore Fire is fire he thought sad to think It would die by morning when he would slink Out alone in the daylight distracted By the heat of the sunlight refracted Something’s burning but not for you It’s so hot but she’s so cool You can’t burn ashes it’s all used She ain’t got no fire anymore Something’s burning but not for you It’s so hot but she’s so cool You can’t burn ashes it’s all used She ain’t got no fire anymore
