WATCHING THE FIRE

 

FEEDING THE FLAMES

 

FEEDING MY SOURCE

 

OF CONTEMPLATION

 

THINGS I'VE SEEN

 

 WHO I WAS

 

WHERE I'VE BEEN

 

 

GIRL YOU DON'T 

 

HAVE TO HOLD ME BACK 

THE LOVE YOUR SAVING

IS WASTED ON THE WAY

REACH OUT TO ME

DON'T STOP

COME INSIDE

I KNOW YOU WANT TO

BUT YOU DECIDE

THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES

IS KILLING ME

EVER SLOW

PLEASE SAY YOU CAN SEE

PAST TOMORROW

TO STILL BE YOU AND I

CHOSE LOVE CAST THE DIE

IN LIKE A WAVE

AND THEN YOUR GONE

LEAVE ME WONDERING AND WAITING

FOR ANOTHER ONE TO COME ALONG

EMPTY OR FULL

A TRICK OF LIGHT

ITS ALL THERE

IN BLACK AND WHITE

PLEASE SAY THAT YOU CAN SEE

IT ALL ENDS TOO SOON

IT JUST GETS STARTED

THEN YOUR GONE

OH IT NEVER LASTS

TIME GOES FLYING PAST

LIKE A GHOST TRAIN

IN THE NIGHT

WHEN ITS GONE

WAS IT  REALLY THERE AT ALL

ECHOES OF LOVE

BOUNCE OFF EMPTY WALLS

THE WIND WHISPERS SOFTLY

WAITING FOR YOU TO DECIDE

END THIS TIRELESS MARCH

AND COME INSIDE

THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES

 

IS KILLING ME EVER SLOW

MAYBE NOW ITS TIME

TO JUMP JUST LET GO

YOU LAND RIGHT IN MY ARMS

WHERE YOU WERE BOUND

ALL ALONG

YOU TURN AND SOMEHOW

YOU KNOW

ITS A DIFFERENT SONG

AND YOU WANT TO SING ALONG
