The Fire

If the fire went out
When did that happen
Was I sleeping
When the darkness came in creeping

If the fire went out
Get out the map and
Trace the scars
Underneath the moon and stars

When hearts drift slowly, we don’t know
Until we reach the point it’s over

Did the fire go out
Cause I’m still burning
Did the fire go out
Cause I’m still yearning
I’m still burning for you

If the lights go dim
Is that a bad thing
Now I’m frantic
Guess I thought it was romantic

If the lights go dim
You find it maddening
When did we change
Never thought I’d miss a sea change

When hearts drift slowly, we don’t know
Until we find ourselves alone

Did the fire go out
Cause I’m still burning for you
Did the fire go out
Cause I’m still yearning for you
I’m still burning for you

You took me by surprise
I never saw the moment when the fire left your eyes
