Emmylou Harris - We'll Sweep Out The Ashes lyrics

(joyce allsup) We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning Each time when we meet we both agree that it's for the last time But out of your arms i'm out of my mind So we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning Yes we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning And we'll sweep out the ashes We'll sweep out the ashes We'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
