the flames that divide my life, my love
are starting to die down and find us
lying side by side, with
those very coals to bind us

the burns are fading, so is the hating
leaving soot and hurt behind us
but we'll always see, and always feel
the scars to help remind us

the ash is settling, no heat is meddling
tranquil waters now define us
no melting hearts, no burning hopes
the town, the world won't mind us

wishing now, time can grow cool
and an easy life combine us
hope against hope, dream against dream
for fire to not again blind us
