[Intro]
[Verse 1]
"You took it all,"
Said the aspen to the fall
"You cleared my limbs
In this cold, my faith wears thin"
[Refrain 1]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
The buzzards cry
And they fall down from the sky
Preying on the lone
Oh, I pray my flesh sticks to my bone
[Chorus]
I never asked for any harm
Never raised no stray alarm
I never swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start
To play that precious part, the ember in the dark
The love inside your eyes
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
A mess I made
From this gold, I once was paid
Took me high to lead me low
Into fog and the unknown
[Chorus]
Now I'm howling at the moon
To scorn a love that ended too soon
And I swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start
To place that precious part, the ember in the dark
The love inside your eyes
[Refrain 2]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I never swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start
To play that precious part, the ember in the dark
The love inside your eyes
[Verse 1]
"You took it all,"
Said the aspen to the fall
"You cleared my limbs
In this cold, my faith wears thin"
[Refrain 1]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
The buzzards cry
And they fall down from the sky
Preying on the lone
Oh, I pray my flesh sticks to my bone
[Chorus]
I never asked for any harm
Never raised no stray alarm
I never swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start
To play that precious part, the ember in the dark
The love inside your eyes
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
A mess I made
From this gold, I once was paid
Took me high to lead me low
Into fog and the unknown
[Chorus]
Now I'm howling at the moon
To scorn a love that ended too soon
And I swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start
To place that precious part, the ember in the dark
The love inside your eyes
[Refrain 2]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
I never swore I held your heart, but I wanted from the start
To play that precious part, the ember in the dark
The love inside your eyes
