Lyrics - Smoke And Ashes by Chapman Tracy

I'd heard rumors and
I'd heard talk
About the trail you'd left of brokenhearts
About the sea of tears too wide to cross
But a little bad presshas never scared me off
So
I burned a path to figure out hoe to get mesome of what you got
I've got a red hot heart
If the talk is true yoursis the same and we should be together
And let our passions fan love'sflame
When
I looked for you
I almost passed by you
You were so cool andcalm
I thought my friends had lied
But
I thought so much reserve mustmake you wild inside
It was there and then that
I knew
I had to get mesome of what you got
I've got a red hot heart if the talk is true yoursis the same
And we should be together and let our passion fan love'sflame
I thought
I'd won your heart when
I held your hand in mine
Ithought it was true love the way we complemented each other
But my rightis your wrong and when your right then
I'm left with nothing
Your lightand your heart have all been spent leaving only smoke and ashes
Onlysmoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's as blueas the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You say it'sonly smoke and ashes baby
I'm crying all the time salty stinging tearsand mourning for the past carbon-dated years
But knowing now for certainthat you were always right
Because if a breeze could blow you out of mylife it's only smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got ared hot heart
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
I saythere's fire down below
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I wasblinded by devotion
My unwavering love for you
So blinded that
I thoughtall your lies were true
But now
I know for certain since you've goneaway
It was just a smoldering fire
I mistook for a blaze
Only smoke andashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's as blue as theblood in your veins i say there's a fire down below
You say it's onlysmoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby
Baby...
