Lyrics

The firelight burns

In the times of your life of struggle and strife, when nothing seems to go right
You lie in your bed, it’s all in your head, deep in the dark of the night
The fire in my heart and the sun in the sky, burning through to my soul
And the ice on my lips and my fingertips, no longer feeling the cold
 
I’m writing this song, can’t be too long, the light is getting too dark
When everything fades and you’ve gone away, the gates are locked to the park
I’ll wander alone all on my own, times when we are apart
And when you return, when the firelight burns, we can make that new start
 
They told me that love comes down from above, but really nobody knows
You feel it inside, it has nowhere to hide, but if you lose it, where does it go
The fire in your eyes lights up the skies, I’m in love with my girl
She’ll be coming home soon by the light of the moon, all is well with the world
