After The Fire Is Gone - Freddy Fender

The bottle is almost empty the clock just now struck ten

Darling I had to call you to our favorite place again

We know it’s wrong for us to meet but the fire’s gone out at home

There’s nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

Love is where you find it, when you find no love at home

And there’s nothing cold as ashes, after the fire is gone

Your lips are warm and tender your arms hold me just right

Sweet words of love you remember that the one at home forgot

Each time we say it’s last time but we keep hanging on
