A Fire Burns - The Church

The rusty stream of dawn completes

The scenes where cars once crawled these streets

A face against the moving sky

Brings back an alien hope

Just like they said to me

Keep your heart inside your coat

Well there’s muddy shoes outside your door

Is anybody home I ask once more

A silver-plated jet comes home

But the map leads her astray

Just like they said to me

Find your heart and lose your way

A fire burns inside me

The snow still falls in flakes

The reins around a horse’s throat

Turn into a lake

And people so familiar

Their words are in my mind

A fire burns inside me

Dancing cool and blind

Beside the wall the flowers grow

And down the sticky stems I go

Watching changing skies below

Your arms so far away

Just like they said to me

Life is worth another stay
