Della Mae Ain't No Ash Will Burn
I have seen snow that fell in May
And I have seen rain on cloudless days
Somethings are always bound to change
There ain't 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 ain't no ash will burn
You say this life is not your lot
Well I can't be something that I'm not
We can't stoke a fire that we ain't got
There ain't 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 ain't no ash will burn
There is one lesson I have learned
There ain't no ash will burn
