Balsam Range – Building the Fire Lyrics

Verse 1

Ashes and embers, there’s nothin’ so sad

That’s all that’s left of the love that we had

‘Cause deep in the night on the wild side of town

You were buildin’ the fire that burned it all down

Verse 2

Ain’t nothin’ here but a whisper of smoke

Driftin’ away with the promise you broke

Our dreams fell apart the night that I found

You were buildin’ the fire that burned it all down

Chorus

We had a mansion, a love on the hill

Filled it with passion, faith, and good will

But, all that remains is just dust on the ground

‘Cause you were buildin’ the fire that burned it all down

You built the fire that burned it all down

Verse 2

In the arms of a stranger, there in the dark

With no thought of the days when you lit a spark

Well, everybody could see it for miles around

You were building the fire that burned it all down

Ending

You lit the fire that burned it all down
