A fire to sleep in; a face to wear the skin
let this never be over, feeling things will get better as we grow older
I can dream and so can you
I try my best to get through
Stones and trees bend your knees
Slept for days in the rust at sea
Can't you spin this part, you broke my fire; iced its heart
and laying the pile of cotton built the fire before the dark
(I'm unsure about these two lines)
I saw the future in your eyes,
you only saw the past in mine
sometimes i think of you
draw birds and a choo-choo
but pictures on paper don't mean, don't mean much to you
She's so hungry but she won't eat
He's so tired but he can't sleep
We didn't start the fire, or cut down the trees
Pull down your eyelids,
give your thoughts to me
Then I felt it too,
we all meet someone new
sometimes I think of you
draw birds and a choo-choo
but pictures on paper don't mean, don't mean much to you
Here's what I hear:
