Embers One - Forty Years Lyrics

The time just goes by quickly
Like everyone says, dusk from dawn
20 years here, 22 there
The loves of my life are all gone

All these years of embers
Glowing at my feet it seems
But never finding flame or fire
Or heat enough to kindle my dreams

Years are swift, you don't believe it. But you will someday
When your purest memories are blurry and you just guess
Even about the love you said you'd never leave or hurt
And it just fades away like all the rest

All these years of embers
Glowing at my feet it seems
But never finding flame or fire
Or heat enough to kindle my dreams

You finally get a hold of these profound conclusions
Of what's important, 40 years too late
If I could make it all different what would I change?
I'd love someone with everything and all of me, and never wait

All these years of embers
Glowing silently apart
But never finding flame or fire
Or light enough to find my heart
