Iand'd heard rumors and iand'd heard talk
About the trail youand'd left of broken hearts
About the sea of tears too wide to cross
But a little bad press has never scared me off
So i burned a path to figure out
How to get me some of what you got
Iand've got a red hot heart
If the talk is true yourand's is the same
And we should be together
And let our passions fan loveand's flame
When i looked for you i almost passed you by
You were so cool and calm i thought my friends had lied
But i thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
It was there and then that i knew i had to get some of what you got
Iand've got a red hot heart
If the talk is true yourand's is the same
And we should be together
And let our passions fan loveand's flame
I thought iand'd won your heart when i held you hand in mine
I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other
But my right is your wrong
And when youand're right then iand'm left with nothing
Your light and your heat have all been spent
Leaving only smoke and ashes
Only smoke and ashes baby
Iand've got a red hot heart
Any your heartand's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say thereand's fire down below
You say itand's only smoke and ashes baby
Iand'm crying all the time
Salty stinging tears
And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
But knowing now for certain that you were always right
Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
Itand's only smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby
Iand've got a red hot heart
And your heartand's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say thereand's fire down below
You say itand's only smoke and ashes baby
I was blinded by devotion
My unwavering love for you
So blinded that i thought all your lies were true
But now i know for certain since youand've gone away
It was just a smoldering fire i mistook for a blaze
Only smoke and ashes baby
Iand've got a red hot heart
And your heartand's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say thereand's fire down below
You say itand's only smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ...
