This Fire Lyrics

Some days I can't see the sun through the fog

And I find I'm driving back to where you are

Asleep at the wheel and I'm grinding the gears

Then you wake and find you haven't moved in years

Sometimes you bend and sometimes you break

I had a vision and I called it fate

Now the fires are burning all over this place

All the embers blowing straight into my face

At night I dream I was strapped to the floor

A soldier drafted to a never ending war

Then a great horn sounds and i awaken with a roar

And I don't tend this fire no more

Some days I can't see the turn in the road

And the light is fading and the wind's gone cold

And I feel in my bones that I'm getting too old

To labor under these illusions i was sold

At night I dream I was strapped to the floor

A soldier drafted to a never ending war

Then a great horn sounds and i awaken with a roar

And i don't tend this fire no more

Some days the sun shines right in my face

Some call it morning, I call it grace

Outside the world is consuming its face

But here the pieces fall so neatly into place

Aat night I find myself dreaming of the sea

Where nothing burns and the soul swims free

Then I make my way to a faraway shore

Where I don't tend this fire no more
