Things We Lost in the Fire (Abbey Road sessions) Lyrics

Things we lost to the flame

Things we'll never see again
All that we've amassed

Sits before us, shattered into ash

[These are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fireThese are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fire]

We sat and made a list

Of all the things that we have

Down the backs of table tops

Ticket stubs and your diaries

I read them all one day
When loneliness came and you were away

Oh they told me nothing new,

But I love to read the words you used

[These are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fireThese are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fire]

I was the match and you were the rock

Maybe we started this fire

We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre

(You said) we were born with nothing

And we sure as hell have nothing now

(You said) we were born with nothing

And we sure as hell have nothing now

[These are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fireThese are the things, the things we lostThe things we lost in the fire fire fire]

Flames they licked the walls

Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore
