"Watching the Fire Go Down"

(Harlan Howard)

Our love didn't end in a hurry
It's just kinda wasted away
I felt your warm kiss turned cold as the mist
Then I woke up alone one day.

I'm watching the fire go down
Just watched that old bottle go down
Just like those last days that you were around
I'm watching the fire go down.

--- Instrumental ---

Was there another I wonder
I fought for your heart but in vain
For it wasn't enough I still lost your love
Now the ashes are all that there lay.

I'm watching the fire go down
Just watched that old bottle go down
Just like those last days that you were around
I'm watching the fire go down.

Yes, I'm watching the fire go down...
