Lyrics
As real as the embers
Burning slowly in my soul
I said you smell the piano
It grows wild in my hands
Once was ours
Now is just a pain that's so low
Oppression devours.
And you, you couldn't remember
It was cold, late December
I carried you and your body was so warm
Tired and discarded
Rendered useless to the cause
And so it would seem
That we have encountered
The final chapter we'll be reading
Oh it's a lonely one
With pages torn
Down in the depths of my heart
My soul it's been torn
By you, you couldn't remember
It was cold late December
I carried you and your body was so warm
It's in the crisper, I heard it whisper
And it told me you were gone
And jail's the spot light that heaven killed
To control what we've been doing
But that's not the master plan
That we had in hand
And if only, and if only you knew
Just what would
To you, you couldn't remember
it was cold, late December
I carried you, and your body was so warm
