Tensaw - Build a Fire Lyrics

Woke up in the morning with you on my mind
Feeling cold and lonely as that ash gray winter sky
Gazed out of the window past those frozen pines
Woodpile's getting higher, it's time to build a fire

Build a fire
Build a fire
Burn the whole thing down now
We'll send it off in style
Stripped it bare tore it down and ripped it clean in two
Left me with the ashes of all that's left of you

You told me that you loved me, I believed it to be true
Turned around the next day and you told me we were through
Left me out to freeze here on this barren mountainside
Chopped down all the wood now it's time to build a fire

Build a fire
Build a fire
Your love has grown cold now it's time to build a fire
Stripped it bare tore it down and ripped it clean in two
Left me with the ashes of all that's left of you

Build a fire to be warm
If that's what you need to do
I'll build mine just for you
And burn up every trace that reminds me we are through
Stripped it bare tore it down and ripped it clean in two
Left me with the ashes of all that's left of you

The fire is dying and I'm going to bed with whiskey in my head
Everything I've lived for has been left for dead
I feel you in the embers and see you in the ash
Nothing that I do will ever bring you back

Build a fire
Build a fire
Your love has grown cold now, it's time to build a fire
Stripped it bare tore it down and ripped it clean in two
Left me with the ashes of all that's left of you
Left me with the ashes of all that's left of you
