Pictures in the Fire - Nevada, Annie Haslam

Pictures in the fire

Reflections of myself

Take a look in the mirror

What do I see

A portrait of me

And the smoke curls up the chimney

Sending messages of love

But you’re so far away

So far away

This cold wintry evening

I curl up by the fire

I wonder what you’re doing

I know we agreed

To part for a while

So here I am alone again

Pretending that you’re with me

I can’t so no/she can’t say no

And I can’t let go/and she can’t let go

I thought he’d never leave me

Turning round I see you

I know it’s tonight

It’s just my heart deceiving

A trick of the light

And the smoke curls up the chimney

Sending messages of love

If only you were with me

Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh oooh / oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh with me

And I can’t say no … she can’t say no

And I can’t let go … and she can’t let go

Pretending that you’re with me

So here I am alone again

Thought you’d never leave me
