Before It Gets Too Cold

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
