Where Frozen Embers Still Burn
Where Frozen Embers Still Burn
Canyons scorched over time by an overburdened sun lust
A desolate lost soul still wonders blindly back
On that past, the darkened prairie grass, and covered dust
Where rain fell, love began, then turned icy black
Confused, buried through time, recalling if you ever were mine
Glimmers of gold discovered there that memories retain
Scattered rocks, sharper than my mind, thoughts refined
Landscape with solid features remains untainted in refrain
Our love was silent born on golden morning’s mist
Only a sad sun remembers everything that lasts
Silence in the quiet open air recounts every little kiss
Forgetting nothing in the embers of our souls that passed
Cold winters ice etched us beyond simple lust
Memory retains those golden laws of life divine
Still keep their secrets silent born in trust
Covers that distant morning when you were mine
