[Intro] [Melody] [Verse 1] Oh cherry of despair fell off my cigarette A sudden act that I'll never forget My burning ember lost to I don't know where It spiraled away like a broken prayer Falling down it vanished somewhere [Verse 2] I'm sure Spirits laughed Whispered on the street For a fragile moment I'm crushed by defeat I look for the ember fast No time to complete The cherry’s gone Not at all sweet [Chorus] Ashes in the wind tell me what’s the cost For a fleeting second I'm feeling lost Smoke curls around me like a lover’s ghost Cherry of despair you hurt me the most [Verse 3] I light another flame trying to forget Fear of burning a hole in my pants making me sweat! Burned but laughing Smoke in my eyes A little dent in my pride no alibis No surprise [Bridge] Oh cherry of despair why did you depart Gone is the fire that warmed my heart Now alone where shadows start Feeling myself unravel fall apart [Chorus] Ashes in the wind tell me what’s the cost For a fleeting second I'm feeling lost Smoke curls around me like a lover’s ghost Cherry of despair you hurt me the most [Melody] [Fade Out] Smoke curls around me like a lover’s ghost Cherry of despair you hurt me the most I never figured out where you went Life goes on I'll never repent Never ever! I'm not at all sorry I'll probably do it all over again tomorrow
