Lights of the Fireplace

Fireplace
Colours the warm embrace
When lights dance on the carapace
Melt away
The soul beneath has life beyond
Your skin betrays

Feel the ocean spray
Salt stings your eyes from yesterday
But lead us away
From the burden that we weighed
For the homestead burns and far your ghost will stray

Still facade
Could see the stifled embers of
Your broken heart
Oh, but you were art
And cheated death we did
'Til it tore us apart

But until you
Blissfully broke was all I knew
And though led astray
Our eyes fixed on brighter days
The light of memory in this broken heart will stay

In your broken heart will stay
Ooh, in your broken heart will stay

Far we are
The candle soot gone from the parchment
Years ago it marred
And faint the scar
That healed with newfound love
And left this repertoire

Of a story's mark
Gone are the days
Your tears were ours
I'll see you someday
When we're happy enough to sing
The light of memory in this mended heart will stay
