After The Fire lyrics
By Pete Townshend
© 1985 Eel Pie Publishing, Ltd.,PRS. After the fire the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns After the fire the fire still burns I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire And then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tyre And then the sound of a distant gun and the cry of a hungry child The night is hot But nothing's gonna stop This gang going wild After the fire the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns After the fire the fire still burns I saw Matt Dillon in black and white there ain't no colour in memories He rode his brother's Harley across the TV while I was laughing at Dom deLuise. Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking I've gotta stop drinking I've gotta stop thinking I've gotta stop smoking After the fire the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns After the fire the fire still burns The fire still burns, raging through the pain Blackening the promises the tears and the rain The fire will burn 'Til the wind begins to turn And it all begins again After the fire the fire still burns The heart grows older but never ever learns The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns After the fire the fire still burns
