i don't know where you're going
but i know that i'm going along
and now you know that i'm coming
and you know where i'm coming from
*cause if you don't need anybody well hunny that's ok
cause my need for you is enough for two*
so i stoke and blow
but i choke on the smoke of a dying fire
and you're cold so i hold you as the embers tire
and with all my strength
i lie in black coals as they radiate
and like ashes i fly above your trees
and fall slowly onto your leaves
it's a straighter road to stay together
when any turn can steer you wrong
and on that road there's better weather
and forever we can always be strong
and with all my strength
i lie in black coals as they radiate
and like ashes i fly above your trees
and fall slowly onto your leaves
