We'll Sweep out the Ashes in the Morning - Gram Parsons

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 a flame that has to die down 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 we meet, we both agree 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 a flame that has to die down 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
