The Fire Went Out

Somebody's walking the dog like before
The kids outside at the bus stop like in days of yore
A young guy's pulling the cigarette machine
Out there it's business as usual but here just died a dream.

Somebody's ringing at the door
Love doesn't live here any more...

The rooms are empty and I'm on my own
Reading your letter the third time turns my heart to stone
The wind's not sounding your chimes anymore
I left my keys on the sill cause I won't return no more.

Goodbye my love, I am leaving
It's gettin' cold in the evening.

Oh, the fire it went out
It went out so long
Oh, I never saw no cloud
Coming up along
So the fire it went out
It went out so long
A long time a go
And I didn't know
No afterglow
So much for our last show.

Was it all just lie?
Until we die?
Was it all just a lie?
Kinda trick of the light?

An illusion divine?
The last test of time?
