Fire and Forgiveness

As I fall awake and darkness calls

TV flickers dance on the walls

I can hear, I can hear the whole world cry

From this empty room I walk the water's edge

Hearing all those crazy things I said

I can feel, I can feel a cold man's tears



In a river of darkness

Cold guilty rain

Drowning my senses

I can see, I can see you fade away



Far away from here

Through the taste in light

I feel where they warm through the night

I can see, I can see you turn away

Sweet horizons

Spring out of reach

I swear to believe in

I believe, I believe you're there for me



If I could reach out

If I could make it right

I would calm this storm and hold back the night

In fire and forgiveness

I stand in the light of your innocence

And if I close my eyes I see you standing there



Strong out of weakness

Wrapped up in blue

And gold are the secrets

I can dream, I can dream they all come true

As a man becomes what a child believes

Lovers are born on stormier seas

I can feel, I can feel you standing there



If I could reach out

If I could make it right

I would calm this storm and hold back the night

In fire and forgiveness

I stand in the light of your innocence

And if I close my eyes I see you standing there

In fire and forgiveness

I stand in the light of your innocence

And if I close my eyes I see you standing there...
