lyrics

Shovel out the fireplace
Make room for breathing space
All it takes is a little patience

Nobody's got nerves of steel
Whatever got wrong with this ordeal
Save your excessive explanations

Passion to ashes and dreams to dust
Love may betray you but love you must trust
Most people believe in what they want to believe in
Or else what they fear the most

Lonely nights can be like hell
You know, sleeping really well
Takes a lifetime to master

Keep the bottle stowed away
Easy now, take it day by day
Sooner or later you've made it past her

Passion to ashes and dreams to dust
Love may betray you but love you must trust
Most people believe in what they want to believe in
Or else what they fear the most

Lonely chimney looming high
Silhouetted against the greying sky
Could it be you held on too long to a ghost

Take a word from a good old friend
Build a fire once again
There's a fresh wind blowing in from the coast

Passion to ashes and dreams to dust
Love may betray you but love you must trust
Most people believe in what they want to believe in
Or else what they fear the most
