But Embers Lose Their Glow


I want to laugh
I want to cry
I want to know if you know why

Across a room
I saw your face
I felt the warmth of your embrace

And as you smile
The sun did shine
Into your arms I’d lived long miles

But I know that you are fire and ice
I know your flame can be so bright

But embers lose their glow
Ice in Spring it melts like snow
And yet I said that I need you so

But I don’t know if that was right
A partial loss of sight
Full Moon surrounds this writing night

So tell me please
You walked away
I want to know was it with ease?

But at my door
You turned and saw
No future to explore

As you turned
The sun came out
And from my voice you heard no sound

For I know that you are fire and ice
I know your flame can be so bright

But embers lose their glow
And ice in Spring as water flows
Did I say that I need you so?

But now I know that that’s not right
So now I’m sure that that’s not right
