flames

Boy

An empty house, the roof's on fire
You're fighting with the flames
My memories and my desires run
Like the water through the holes

And I wonder why this dream won't fade
This constant blue of the darkest shade
Weighs heavy on your troubled mind
And I call your name, but I can't get through
And is hard on me when is hard on you
Oh dear, if only I could find
A way to ease your troubled mind

I'm looking for remains among the ruins
The dust has settled on your eyes
From the outside, those ghosts
They aren't really there at all
But I can't seem to stop them
From throwing shadows on your wall

If I knew how
I'd calm your nights
And soothe your soul
And I'd clear your sight
Oh, I would fix you
I'd put things back in place
And wave goodbye to bygone days

Oh, I wonder why this dream won't fade
This constant blue of the darkest shade
Weighs heavy on your troubled mind
And I call your name, but I can't get through
And is hard on me when is hard on you
Oh, dear love, if only I could find
The way to ease your troubled mind
