Building the Fire
Balsam Range

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

Lyrics by Balsam Range

  Any Old Road (Will Take You There)   Better Days   Born Ramblin' Man   Day In the Life of a Raliroad Spike   Heart That Won't Stop Loving You   I Ain't Leavin'   I Could Do You Some Good   One Way Out   Other Side of the Mountain   Row By Row   The Streamlined Cannonball   Wide River to Cross
