Fire Lyrics by Mark Heard

Dry Bones Dance

0

[Verse 1]
Orphans wake to candlelight
Noses to the winter windows
Peering down at the dawn grey streets
Where the life that goes on ebbs and flows

And so another sun goes down
All I am slips through my fingers
Human heat it escapes this town
Pray for warmth and watch it linger

[Chorus]
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun

[Verse 2]
Oh to find love's hiding place
We are beggars and bootleggers
Fading embers caught out in the rain
Wondering what's it take to burst into flames

And meanwhile hammers fall on anvils of grief
Molten souls in madmen's cauldrons
Mutineers not allowed to speak
Keep the spark of peace and suddenly there's

[Chorus]
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun

[Outro]
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun...

...Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun
Fire, fire, hotter than the midday sun...
