I have seen snow that fell in May
And I have seen rain on cloudless days
Somethings are always bound to change
There ain’t 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 ain’t 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 stoke a fire that we ain’t got
There ain’t 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 ain’t no ash will burn
.
There is one lesson I have learned
There ain’t no ash will burn
