lyrics

Till The Fire Dies
(Cardier)

Y'know honey, I wrote a song once
But I didn't think it'd turn out
To be anything great -
So I burned it in the fireplace
But I kept a copy just in case.

Somethin' don't turn out so good -
Chop it up for firewood -
Somethin' may turn out so sweet -
Stand it on the mantelpiece.

And keep on keepin' on
Though you don't know why
That you don't know why.
You just keep on keepin' on
Till the fire dies.

And when the leaves were fallin'
In the cold, cold air
I worked out a chorus
Just to make you glow -
And with a grin from ear to ear
I sang it through -
You said you heard one the same
On the radio.
Don’t go.

But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
