Smoke And Ashes (In the Style of Tracy Chapman) [Performance Track with Demonstration Vocals]

(Karaoke Lead Vocal Version) - The Karaoke Channel (卡拉OK頻道)

I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk

About the trail you'd left of broken hearts

About the sea of tears too wide to cross

But a little bad press has never scared me off

So I burned a path to figure out

How to get me some of what you got

I've got a red hot heart

If the talk is true yours is the same

And we should be together

And let our passions fan love's flame

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

When I looked for you I almost passed you by

You were so cool and calm

I thought my friends had lied

But I thought so much reserve must

Make you wild inside

It was there and then that I knew

I had to get some of what you got

I thought I'd won your heart

When I held you hand in mine

I thought it was true love

The way we complemented each other

But my right is your wrong

And when you're right then I'm left

With nothing

Your light and your heat have

All been spent

Leaving only smoke and ashes

Only smoke and ashes baby

I've got a red hot heart

And your heart's as blue as

The blood in your veins

I say there's fire down below

You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

I'm crying all the time

Salty stinging tears

And mourning for the past

Carbon-dated years

But knowing now for certain

That you were always right

Because if a breeze could blow you

Out of my life

How we blinded in my role ashes

My unwavering love for you

So blinded that I thought

All your lies were true

But now I know for certain

Since you've gone away

It was just a smoldering fire

I mistook for a blaze

Only smoke and ashes baby  baby

I've got a red hot heart

And your heart's as blue as

The blood in your veins

I say there's fire down below

You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

Only smoke and ashes baby

Baby baby baby
