Lyrics

Fire

I mostly don't know what I'm doing,
can't say who I am...
Each dream I have's an aimless wish,
each face I wear a sham...
But sometimes when I see her smile,
a memory of light,
stirs a song says she can save me,
drive away the night...

Come on take me further,
come on take me higher!
Fill my empty heart with hope
and set my soul on fire...

The microphone's a lonely place,
my heart is in my feet...
The audience sits stony faced
and I can barely speak...
But when the band begins to play,
it calls me to the fight,
and finds a beat within to save me,
sweep away the night...

Come on take me further,
come on take me higher!
Fill my empty heart with hope
and set my soul on fire...

When nothingness is all that fills me,
darkness bleak and grim...
Black desolation's all around me,
dismal void within...
Can only see beyond the edge
and break its starless blight,
when love or music comes to save me,
pushes back the night...

(disconnected from your scented softness,
I am still here. Bird on a broken branch
awaiting a call to flight - but my flight,
my flight, my flight, my flight, mine...)
