Embers

Kiss of the dawn
Eighteen winters young
We held through the cold snap
As embers still burned
Out on the garden

I loved you
You know that
We watched the ashes spiral round
As we talked of skipping town
I wonder how you're feeling now
Are your feet on the ground?

Angry and full
Of hell invincible
Poetry corroded
And just like the Sun
I missed when it was gone

I know you're above that
You said
You can't please everyone
All of the time
But I was waiting for a sign
And I know that it's close
As we say
Oh

Goodnight to them
So long
Goodnight to them
Oh

Goodnight to them
So long
Goodnight to them
Oh

(We can never look back again)
Goodnight to them
So long
(We can never look back again)
Goodnight to them
So long

(We can never look back again)
Goodnight to them
So long
(We can never look back again)
Goodnight to them
