There is a fire
In place of a stone
It softens the letters
And it takes you back home
Where once it was written
The lines we obeyed
Now tenderly questions
The choices we’ve made

Outlive me outlive me
I love you too much
Rubies and emeralds
And sapphires and such
Outlive me outlive me
I love you too much
Coal into diamonds
Ashes and dust
