THE ASHES OF DESIRE
You never were the one I wanted
But you were there and that was fine
I never felt the need to win you
Or the need to make you mine
Where’s the need
Where’s the fire
These are just
The ashes of desire
You never set my heart on fire
Others did but then they left
You came to me in a moment of need
When my soul was bereft
Where’s the need
Where’s the fire
These are just
The ashes of desire
We place so much importance
On love and being loved
But all we need is attention
When push comes to shove
Where’s the need
Where’s the fire
These are just
The ashes of desire
We found a home inside each other
We took the moment and were glad
We knew that this was all we needed
Not what we wanted – what we had
You never were the one I wanted
But you were there and that was fine
I never felt the need to win you
Or the need to make you mine
Where’s the need
Where’s the fire
These are just
The ashes of desire
