Paroles de Kindling (Fickle Flame)

Had a circular saw blade
Where I should have had a heart
You kept your boat afloat for so long
I was trusted, I adored her
And I tore it all apart
I saw you try and stop the sunset on your own

Twin moons on a millpond
From a tumbledown barn
I'll forever want your ancient silver gravity
I can still taste the heat of the sun on her skin in my arms
I could fold to the cold of these
January streets
Keep your hand around the fickle flame of morning after
But your smile in the half-light is
Pure pillow print cheek
An angel tangled in the very cloths of heaven

I will be far away for a while
But my heart's staying put
Warming and guarding and guiding
The one that I love
Warming and guarding and guiding
The one that I love

The silence and the waiting and the rush of all aboard And the wheat fields explode into gold
