After the Fire Is Gone

(L.E. White)



Love is where you find it

When you find no love at home

And there's nothing cold as ashes

After the fire is gone.



The bottle's almost empty

The clock just now stuck ten

And I just had to call you

To our favorite place again.



We know it's wrong for us to meet

But the fire's gone out at home

And there's nothing cold as ashes

After the fire is gone.



Love is where you find it

When you find no love at home

And there's nothing cold as ashes

After the fire is gone.



--- Instrumental ---



Your lips are warm and tender

Your arms hold me just right

Sweet words of love you remember

That the one at home forgot.



Each time we say it's the last time

But we keep hanging on

And there's nothing cold as ashes

After the fire is gone.



Love is where you find it

When you find no love at home

And there's nothing cold as ashes

After the fire is gone...
