Only Ashes Remain - by Andrew "Andy" Kealoha Cummings
Only ashes remain My love for you was in vain And now a sad refrain Is my only song     How could you be so mean To end my beautiful dream Of happiness supreme That I've known so long     Hui: Now the flame of love has died And all because of you Tell me are you satisfied That you and I are thru     I keep trying in vain To start the flame once again But only ashes remain Of the love we knew
