It was just supposed to be
Solace for a night or two
An autumn fling
But the nights turned to weeks
We just tried to ride the wave
The winning streak
Every touch fed the blaze
All the tiny ripples turned
To tide waves
Winter led into Spring
And the light I saw you in
So bright I felt the heat
Let me hold
The powdered ash
Before it gets too cold
Try to save an ember
Leave behind an opening for someone else to find
And hope that we remember
Summer came bearing gifts
One of them the winds of change
A bitter kiss
A favorite song from the past
But it doesn't sound the same
Was never meant to last
Let me hold
The powdered ash
Before it gets too cold
Try to save an ember
Leave behind an opening for someone else to find
And hope that we remember
(Try to save a spark, so I can find a way)
Keep it warm, so I can find a way
(Keep it warm enough, so I can find a way)
(Keep it warm enough, so I can find a way)
(Try to find a little light, so I can feed the flame)

Let me hold
The powdered ash
Before it gets too cold
Try to save an ember (keep it warm enough to see another day)
Leave behind an opening for someone else to find
And hope that we remember (keep it warm enough so I can find a way)
Let me hold
The powdered ash
Before it gets too cold
Try to save an ember (try to save, try to save an ember)
Leave behind an opening for someone else to find (keep it warm enough so I can find a way)
And hope that we find a way
