The Fire Escape Lyrics by Sailing Stones

Polymnia

2020

Head for the fire escape
Her tears are little flames
You know when the fires come
The fires rage for days
And then they come rising to the surface
The words that she is finding hard to say
But he ran down the fire escape
She stays amidst the blaze
Singing that song about a river
Skate away
Every time
She’ll miss the purpose
She’ll lay on the pyre
Or bury it away
Well I remember
I fell from a height
When trying to fly
And I remember
Feeling both broken and alive
We’re weaving together
It’s not that you don’t love this side
But I don’t quite
When I’m lost in the wild
We sit at the fire escape
I struggle to explain
I know it was yesterday
But still the hurt prevails
You’re out of your mind
I try to tell you
You can’t really love me
When I act this way
But I remember
What I remember all this time
Do you remember
When you first slipped your hand in mine?
The waves and the tremors
This brittle bird
You stand beside
You take my hand
​
You turn to me and smile
We sit at the fire escape
Beside the open door
I know that I’ve never loved a man like this before
The pain of a heart
That’s breaking open
I’m scared and I’m just trying to let you know
The birth of a heart, I’m breaking open
My darling, I’m just trying to let you know
