Fire at midnight
Ashes at the dawn.
All the burned out lovers
Have come and now are gone.
Scattered to the four winds
Nothing much remains
'Cept the shade of memory
That colors all my chains
Let em roll Let em roll
Let em roll the night away
The love we tasted
Cannot endure this day
Leave me in peace now
What kind I cannot say
Let em roll
Let em roll the night away.
She asked the question
That I could never ask
She asked the question
And an answer was my task
And I surely did remind her
Of someone in her past
When she heard the words I spoke
She broke out in a laugh
Let em blow Let em blow
Let em blow my words away
I did not mean them
But I thought I had to say
Something she wanted
To ease her mind and stay.
Let em blow
Let em blow my words away.
Lying here beside her
In the aftermath well spent
No lies were exchanged
Just our bodies lent.
Silent in these moments
We hold each other tight
Oh to be a prisoner
Of this sweet and endless night
Let em blow Let em blow
Let em blow my blues away
The love I've waited for
Has come perhaps to stay
While she's here now
I'll love her for today
Let em blow
Let em blow my blues away
