A Fire Burns         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
