By the Fire Lyrics by Martha Davis

...So the Story Goes

0

It was a long climb down
But she was still so far from the ground
And she would lose her balance
Every time that she look down
Look down
The night was cold and dark
She was aware of her heart
Cause every time it beat
She'd repeat how nice it would be
To be safe and warm
By the fire
Next to him
As the light would grow dim
By the fire
Next to him
As the light would grow
She never did know why
She started to climb
But now the air's so thin
When she breathes
It burns through her soul
Through her soul
Like the fire
Next to him
As the light would grow dim
Like the fire
Next to him
As the light would grow
Falling was a bitch
But when she hit
It didn't hurt at all
And the snow that closed around her
Was as quiet as death
As death
And the cold burned so hot
That soon she forgot
Everything except
Where she might have been that night
That night
By the fire
Next to him
As the light would grow dim
By the fire
Next to him
As the light would grow dim
