Raking Through The Ashes Lyrics

I'm raking through the ashes

Now the fire has died down

Burnt letters and dispatches

Embers spread around

There's a few unsinged remains

Not consumed by the flame

Old memories of passion, pique

And pain

I'm raking through the ashes

To find out what remains

I'm sifting through the cinders

Incinerated love

Charred reminders

Of all the things that I had grown fond of

I guess I should have used a little more kerosene

Burn down the pyre of all my dreams

Build a fire that would render

My slate clean

I'm sifting through the cinders

And finding my old dreams

I'm raking through the ashes

To find out what remains

I'm raking through the ashes

To see what I can save
