This highway of heartache is rocky and rough
Lord, I learned a long time ago
You can't build a fire from the ashes of love
Roses don't bloom in the snow

Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart

You were my light on the darkest of days
Though storms that were raging within
And slowly but surely the clouds rolled away
And the sun started shining again

Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart

Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart

Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was cold and dark
I feel your love take a-hold
Way down deep in my heart
