Simple Fire

I’ve seen my eyes living a different life

When no-one’s watching

My lips divide the words I try to hide

Behind, pretending

That there’s no other I keep inside

But I’m her mother, a sleepless guide

You turn away, don’t wanna stay here

The city’s dying

Come out with me to New York City, dear

We’re both denying

That I’m the Summer you’re dreaming of

But I’m the woman so hard to love

There is no release in your abyss

And I’ll run away, won’t reminisce

Cut me open and slide inside

Feel the fire I’m prone to hide

My love is a simple fire

My love is a simple fire

I don’t want it from anyone else

I don’t want to need anyone else

My love is a simple fire

My love is a simple fire

I don’t want it from anyone else

I don’t want to need anyone else

I don’t want it from anyone else

I don’t want to need anyone else

I’m the tide inside a misty mind

Changing in for out and back in time

Though I vow to move and redefine

Oh, sunrise, you’re the newness that shines on our troublesome kind
