(Verse 1)
The fire burns so bright
As daylight fades to night
Whippoorwills and frog croaks
Fill the air
Memories gone bye
Past the moon they fly
All I do is stoke the flames
And stare

(Chorus)
I know the memories won’t fade
Like tattoos on my mind, there they’ll stay
So I sit and I cry, over these ashes tonight
Next to these empty picture frames

(Verse 2)
Smoke fills trees
A bitter cloud finds me
The taste of ash, it fills my
Weeping lungs
I cough, then wipе a tear
At all those long gone yеars
As I burn the words
To a song I once sung
(Chorus)
I know the memories won’t fade
Like tattoos on my mind, there they’ll stay
So I sit and I cry, over these ashes tonight
Next to these empty picture frames

(Bridge)
Yeah, I've written some real stinkers. Like that one song, about a deer?

(Verse)
What's that that I spy over there on the hillside?
A pretty young doe, about to bed down
