Music and lyrics by J Stephen Roberts

 

What did you say?

I want to hear it again

Before it fades

Your voice like trees in the wind

Bright as the dawn

The glance I caught of your eye

When you were passing by

 

That day remains

Sometimes it plays through my mind

I’d picked you out

And soon you were at my side

We talked a while

This glimpse of our coming days

Before us it lay

 

The fire

The fire

 

I wake today

The bed I don’t recognize

You are this shade

That still haunts me

I let moments pass

Didn’t recognize the signs

I thought there was time

 

The fire

The fire

The fire

 

Still burns (an image of your face)

Still burns (from it I cannot escape)

Still burns (I search for it in every woman)
