After The Fire
 
 
(Pete Townshend) 
 
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
