Tim Finn Staring At The Embers lyrics

Staring at the embers
Of my memory,trying to remember
Just what you meant to me
Now and then I`m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers

Sit right down before the fire
My bridges are all burning

A lady told me she was a liar
In love at least I`m learning

Staring at the embers of my
Memory staring at the embers
They`re all that`s left to me

Don`t know where I`m going
There`s no way of knowing
Staring at the embers

The flame has gone you put it out
Out without a word of warning
The pleasure palace goes
Up in smoke

But this fool goes on yearning
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Fire-place surrender
Please give her back to me
Now and then I`m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers of
My memory
Trying to remember just
What you meant to me
Now and then I`m falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers (repeat)
