No Ash Will Burn

I have seen snow that fell in May
 And I have seen rain on cloudless days
 Some things are always bound to change
 There is no ash will burn
 Love is a precious thing, I'm told
 It burns just like West Virginia coal
 But when the fire dies down it's cold
 There is no ash will burn
 You say this life is not your lot
 Well, I can't be something that I'm not
 Can't stoke a fire we haven't got
 There is no ash will burn
 Love is a precious thing, I'm told
 It burns just like West Virginia coal
 But when the fire dies down it's cold
 There is no ash will burn
 ♪
 In every life there comes a time
 Where there are no more tears to cry
 We must leave something dear behind
 There is no ash will burn
 Love is a precious thing, I'm told
 It burns just like West Virginia coal
 But when the fire dies down it's cold
 There is no ash will burn
 There is one lesson I have learned
 There is no ash will burn
