I wrote you a letter Late last night The words on the paper My true heart's desire Now in this bright morning Oh, what did I find? No sign of the letter Ashes on the fire This morning brought sorrow This morning brought tears They bloomed like a flower From deep-seated fears My words like an arrow Aimed so much higher My bow broke asunder Ashes on the fire I know that you weary Of this life we've made In silence I sit here And read the flames Come sit down beside me You ghosts of the pyre And nightly remind me Ashes on the fire Ashes on the fire Ashes on the fire
