Come now sister don't you wait for the sky to clear
I have never seen it rain so truly
Find somewhere to sleep this bus stop's sinking like a pew
They can wait till morning or a week, or two
I came here not for love but for the possibility
Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
Your memory is safe with me
In your memory
Strange how things just come to me in my sleep
Climb the rolling hills that are so steep
And I dont recognize you and all you need is
Knowing we know each other so well
I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
Keep it burning until i return as darkness falls over to take you
ooooooooh x4
All the way to whaler's cove, the country side and me
Every little thing is still in it's place
If it were hours where I thought that I would be
Surely I would know it in my bones
I came here not for love but for the possibility
Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
Your memory is safe with me
In your memory
The only thing I know is I'm not sure
Where I left they keys to all the doors
And now that I am here I dont know why
Everybody is the same
I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
Keep it burning until I return as darkness falls over to take you
ooooooooh x4
I have never seen it rain so truly
Find somewhere to sleep this bus stop's sinking like a pew
They can wait till morning or a week, or two
Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
Your memory is safe with me
In your memory
Climb the rolling hills that are so steep
And I dont recognize you and all you need is
Knowing we know each other so well
I will be the hunter and you can light the fire
Keep it burning until i return as darkness falls over to take you
ooooooooh x4
Every little thing is still in it's place
If it were hours where I thought that I would be
Surely I would know it in my bones
Of setting free the love we knew for all of time
Don't you remember that I said that I would not forget
Your memory is safe with me
In your memory
Where I left they keys to all the doors
And now that I am here I dont know why
Everybody is the same
Keep it burning until I return as darkness falls over to take you
ooooooooh x4

I'm not sure on the end of the "Keep it burning" line. It's really hard to hear. What I have there is the only thing that makes even a little bit of sense. There's definitely the "oov" sound though.
It's "As darkness falls, all bruised and tired, to you."

To me, the singer is trying to find his first love that he lost. Everything has remained the same - except the yearning to regain the experience of his first Love. And he wants the passion of the fires to keep burning because he will keep seeking......That First Love.
