No Ash Will Burn - Altan

I have seen snow that fell in May

And I have seen rain on cloudless days

Somethings are always bound to change

There is no ash will burn

Love is a precious thing I’m told

It burns just like West Virginia coal

But when the fire dies down it’s cold

There is no ash will burn

You say this life is not your lot

Well I can’t be something that I’m not

We can’t stroke a fire that we haven’t got

There is no ash will burn

Love is a precious thing I’m told

It burns just like West Virginia coal

But when the fire dies down it’s cold

There is no ash will burn

In every life there comes a time

Where there are no more tears to cry

We must leave something dear behind

There is no ash will burn

Love is a precious thing I’m told

It burns just like West Virginia coal

But when the fire dies down it’s cold

There is no ash will burn

There is one lesson I have learned

There is no ash will burn
