Building the Fire
Verse 1
Ashes and embers, there's nothin' so sad
That's all that's left of the love that we had
"˜Cause deep in the night on the wild side of town
You were buildin' the fire that burned it all down
Verse 2
Ain't nothin' here but a whisper of smoke
Driftin' away with the promise you broke
Our dreams fell apart the night that I found
You were buildin' the fire that burned it all down
Chorus
We had a mansion, a love on the hill
Filled it with passion, faith, and good will
But, all that remains is just dust on the ground
"˜Cause you were buildin' the fire that burned it all down
You built the fire that burned it all down
Verse 2
In the arms of a stranger, there in the dark
With no thought of the days when you lit a spark
Well, everybody could see it for miles around
You were building the fire that burned it all down
Ending
You lit the fire that burned it all down
