lyrics

Ashes and Trees

Promise of endless summer, fireworks and bonfires
Like children filled with wonder, passionate hearts of desire

The fire burns bright, smoke drifts away on the breeze
Last hope smolders amid the ashes and the trees

Sparks kindle flames, heat almost too much to bear
Two souls melt together, hot life to share

The fire burns bright, smoke drifts away on the breeze
Last hope smolders amid the ashes and the trees

All flames finally fade
Embers change to gray
Summer heat becomes winter cold
And love can lose its hold

The fire burns out, smoke drifts away on the breeze
Last hope smolders, amid the ashes and the trees
