Ain't No Ash Will Burn

I have seen snow that fell in May And I have seen rain on cloudless days Somethings are always bound to change There ain't no ash will burn Love is a precious thing I'm told It burns just like West Virginia coal But when the fire dies down it's cold There ain't no ash will burn You say this life is not your lot Well I can't be something that I'm not We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got There ain't no ash will burn In every life there comes a time Where there are no more tears to cry We must leave something dear behind There ain't no ash will burn
