After the Fire is Gone

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Now the bottle, it's almost empty
And the clock just now struck ten
Darling, I had to call you
To our favourite place again

We know it's wrong for us to meet
But the fire's gone out at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Your lips are warm and tender
Your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember
That the one at home's forgot

And each time we say it's the last time
But we keep hanging on
And there's nothing cold as ashes
After the fire is gone

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes
After the fire is gone
