Flames

Lyrics

[Verse 1] An empty house, the roof's on fire You're fighting with the flames My memories and my desires run Like the water through the hose [Chorus] And I wonder why this dream won't fade This constant blue of the darkest shade Weighs heavy on your troubled mind And I call your name, but I can't get through And it's hard on me when it's hard on you Oh dear, love, if only I could find A way to ease your troubled mind [Verse 2] I'm looking for remains among the ruins The dust has settled on your eyes From the outside, those ghosts They aren't really there at all But I can't seem to stop them From throwing shadows on your wall [Verse 3] If I knew how I'd calm your nights And soothe your soul And I'd clear your sight Oh, I would fix you I'd put things back in place And wave goodbye to bygone days [Chorus] Oh, I wonder why this dream won't fade This constant blue of the darkest shade Weighs heavy on your troubled mind And I call your name, but I can't get through When it's hard on me, then it's hard on you Oh dear, love, if only I could find A way to ease your troubled mind [Outro] Your mind
