Staring At The Embers

Staring at the embers

Of my memory,trying to remember

Just what you meant to me

Now and then I'm falling

Alligators crawling

Staring at the embers



Sit right down before the fire

My bridges are all burning



A lady told me she was a liar

In love at least I'm learning



Staring at the embers of my

Memory staring at the embers

They're all that's left to me



Don't know where I'm going

There's no way of knowing

Staring at the embers



The flame has gone you put it out

Out without a word of warning

The pleasure palace goes

Up in smoke



But this fool goes on yearning

Staring at the embers

Of my memory

Fire-place surrender

Please give her back to me

Now and then I'm falling

Alligators crawling

Staring at the embers

Staring at the embers of

My memory

Trying to remember just

What you meant to me

Now and then I'm falling

Alligators crawling

Staring at the embers (repeat)
