Lyrics for Smoke And Ashes by Tracy Chapman:
| | | Artist: | Tracy Chapman |
| | Album: | New Beginning | | Track: | Smoke And Ashes | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
About the sea of tears too wide to cross
But a little bad press has never scared me off
So I burned a path to figure out
How to get me some of what you got
I've got
a red hot heart
If the talk is true your's is the same
And we should be together
And let our passions fan love's flame
When I looked for you I almost passed
you by
You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied
But I thought so much
reserve must make you wild inside
It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of
what you got
I've got a red hot heart
If the talk is true your's is the same
And we should be together
And let our passions fan love's flame
I
thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine
I thought it was true love the way
we complemented each other
But my right is your wrong
And when you're right then I'm
left with nothing
Your light and your heat have all been spent
Leaving only smoke
and ashes
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
Any
your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You
say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I'm crying all the time
Salty stinging
tears
And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
But knowing now for certain that
you were always right
Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
It's only
smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I was blinded by devotion
My
unwavering love for you
So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
But now I
know for certain since you've gone away
It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's
as blue as the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You say it's only
smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby, baby | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
