Wildfire

Could we go back

To the young and reckless

Unchallenging and restless

Love we had

Our love was like wildfire then

Our love was like wildfire then

We knew of nothing but each other

travelling down miles of highways

That took us nowhere but home

When home was just a room where we could make love A home was just a room to make love

We stayed in our summer house

Where I followed your naked body

Down through the grass after rainy nights

As the mist cleared off with the morning light

Like a Bergman scene in black and white -

Soon the smoke

Will leave us nothing left to see

It's been so long

Now give me something worth to keep

A love like wildfire with no way to go

I miss our flames so high up in the sky

If longing could make us

Lunge to the surface and into the light

Below us

Only drifters in the dark

When I found you, you told me

You'd been saving every breath for me

But remember I'm the one who set you free

We found each other when we were young

Unspoiled and without rules in the night

we followed what swung

In the rain we rode (on) our bikes through town

Like the cliches in every love song

Now we are growing old

No more open highways to roam

Clogged for miles and miles

When we are traveling on this

safe futuristic road

Speaking without a sound

Soon the smoke

Will leave us nothing left to see

It's been so long

Now give me something worth to keep

A love like wildfire with no way to go

I miss our flames so high up in the sky

If longing could make us

Lunge to the surface and into the light

Below us

Only drifters in the dark

When I found you, you told me

You'd been saving every breath for me

But remember I'm the one who set you free
