lyrics

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

We're two people caught up in a 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
Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning

Yes, we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
Then we'll sweep out the ashes
Yeah, we'll sweep out the ashes
Yeah, we'll sweep out the ashes

We'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
