This Fire


The perfect landscape of your life
The rolling hills of mine
The sweetest curves of a night well-spent
in the safest part of my troubled heart

You know too much and nothing at all
You're so far under my skin now
I keep wondering how -- you got here
I didn't plan the man you are...did you conceive desire?
I can't... accept this fire.


Here in the silken bath of the darkness
Wondering which part of her you're near
She deserves everything you have and more
than that I cannot know though you tell me so

You know too much and nothing at all
You're so far under my skin now
I'm wondering how -- you got here
I didn't plan the man you are...did you conceive desire?
I can't... accept this fire.

The happy ending here is hard to see
And asking takes apart the flame
The heat of which I'll miss
The hope I will dismiss
Should I ever miss
Should you ever kiss me

The set of blues that take me in
They are a lot like yours
Her tiny hand wraps around your heart
Does she favor you
Don't know what on earth to do

You know too much and nothing at all
You're so far under my skin now
I'm wondering how -- you got here
I didn't plan the man you are...did you conceive desire?
I can't... accept this fire.
