[00:31.930] |
Some say love is a burning thing |
[00:38.440] |
That it makes a fiery ring |
[00:43.280] |
Oh but I know love as a fading thing |
[00:49.490] |
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream |
[00:54.410] |
See, honey, I saw love, you see, it came to me |
[01:00.550] |
It put its face up to my face so I could see |
[01:05.670] |
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me |
[01:11.760] |
Into something I am not recognizing |
[01:16.780] |
... |
[01:39.300] |
You see the cage, it called, I said ‘come on in’ |
[01:45.370] |
I will not open myself up this way again |
[01:50.290] |
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand |
[01:56.450] |
I will not lay like this for days now upon end |
[02:01.390] |
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand |
[02:07.760] |
To be acknowledged by some touch from his gnarled hands |
[02:12.590] |
You see the cage, it called, I said ‘come on in’ |
[02:18.730] |
I will not open myself up this way again |
[02:25.710] |
... |
[02:47.460] |
You see the moon is bright in that treetop night |
[02:53.770] |
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold clean light |
[02:58.820] |
Now my feet are gold, and my heart is white |
[03:04.870] |
And we race out on the desert plains all night |
[03:09.970] |
See, honey, I am not some broken thing |
[03:16.110] |
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee |
[03:21.080] |
No, my heart is gold, my feet are light |
[03:27.200] |
And I am racing out on the desert plains all night |
[03:32.900] |
... |
[04:16.930] |
Some say love is a burning thing |
[04:23.190] |
That it makes a fiery ring |
[04:27.940] |
Oh but I know love as a caging thing |
[04:34.160] |
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream |
[04:39.170] |
Oh and all you folks, you come to see |
[04:45.430] |
You just stand there in the glass looking at me |
[04:50.490] |
But my heart is wild and my bones are steam |
[04:56.780] |
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free |
