We'll Sweep Out The Ashes Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris & Barry Tashlin 

We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us 

We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me 

So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone 

Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning. 

We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die down soon 

I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you 

So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on 

And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning. 

Each time when we meet we both agree that it's for the last time 

But out of your arms I'm out of my mind 

So we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning 

And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning.
