lyrics

as the sun sits on the hillside preparing its nightly magic act
clouds gather 'round to catch its colors as they fly
she pours herself a brandy and dusts off the hem of her favorite dress
shakes her hair down to her waist and drinks in the purple sky
last night her baby said goodbye

was a time she loved him to much it left her without breath
she cried and kissed him when he took her for his wife
they bought a plot of land a house with a porch and a yellow lab
lying by the fire they planned the details of their life
they never dreamed the flame could die

but love is a fire that needs tending
the embers fade so slow you cannot see
she never dreamed she would not miss his touch
she never thought she'd feel so free

he loved another woman she'd always known the truth
he cried and kissed her and she watched him down the drive
now she sips on her brandy and laughs at her hair and her favorite dress
rekindling a love that she had always denied a love from way down deep inside

and love is a fire that needs tending
and she'll be damned if she will let these embers be
though she thought she'd always need his touch
the flame is finally burning free
she never thought she'd feel so free
