Your Heart in the Fire
In the shadow of the day‘Hind the laughters and the rumble, let me say:Hides an aching pain,‘Hind the masquerade.
It’s a fragile wish to love and to be loved.Wonder if these walls – too high to climb aboveThey sure can’t be razed,But I hope one day
You’ll lay your heart next to mineOh, and I’ll be fineIf you lay your heart in the fireOh, and I’ll be fine.
Here’s the mask I cannot shake.But at night, when I’m not ’wakeThere’s a lonesome dreamOf the one who sets me free.
And you lay you heart next to mineOh and I’ll be fineIf you lay your heart in the fireOh, and I’ll be fineOh, and I’ll be fine.
So if you glimpse a bit of darkness through the showRest assured it’s ‘cause inside I’ve always known:It’s my lot to goThrough this wretched life alone.
But if you lay your heart next to mineOh, and I’ll be fineIf you lay your heart in the fireOh, will I be fine
