Throw 'em on the fire

 All those thoughts of yesteryear

Throw 'em on the fire

pain and grief, love and tears

Throw 'em on the fire

Guests unbidden, unwelcome quest

Throw 'em on the fire

Burning honesty, earnest zest

Throw 'em on the fire

All the brands and marks of man

Throw 'em on the fire

Spinning jennies and caravans

Throw 'em on the fire

All the laughter lost and gone

Throw 'em on the fire

Nothing stays that hasn't come

Throw 'em on the fire

I love you, but your shoe

Is still higher than your desire

So take them off and throw 'em on

Yes, throw 'em on the fire
