Verse
Fire pit smoke curls round my knees
Embers climb where the smoke used to be
Ash on my ankles, grey turns gold
Same flame my mother's mother made
Night shift into a soft blue hush
Speakers cool but my chest won't rush
Sparks still jump from the dying coal
Straight through my skin to my soul
Pre-Chorus
Feel it catch behind my eyes
Feel it climb before the rise
Every ember knows the ones before it
Never really dies
Chorus
Ash and amber sunrise
Ash and amber sunrise
Fire in my body never dies
Ash and amber sunrise
Verse
Rooftop edge and the sky turns rust
Feet still warm from the concrete dust
Hands that danced through the whole black night
Open now to the morning light
Circle breaks but the heat stays true
Passed from her hands into mine, into you
Every dawn is the fire's door
We just walk through it, we ask for more
Pre-Chorus
Feel it catch behind my eyes
Feel it climb before the rise
Every ember knows the ones before it
Never really dies
Chorus
Ash and amber sunrise
Ash and amber sunrise
Fire in my body never dies
Ash and amber sunrise
Bridge
Not a burning, it's a keeping
Not an ending, it's a seed
Every grandmother left an ember
Underneath my need
Chorus
Ash and amber sunrise
Ash and amber sunrise
Fire in my body never dies
Ash and amber sunrise
