I can make a bonfire of our vanity
But I can't smoke out your memory
Something still burns at the heart of that fire
You walk towards me through the ghosts of desire.
Hidden hearts still call out to each other
But when you fall there's no return
If I should ever learn to call you my lover
I do believe my tongue would burn.
You change like an angel on the edge of my sight
The gift of your love was just a trick of the light
I can still feel your touch in the shimmering rain
I'd rather be buried than feel that again.
I brought you everything I believed in
You said the god had long withdrawn
You turned to love me in the ragged light of the evening
But I loved you in the whisky light of dawn.
We walked together to the very edge
And kicked aside the last minute bridge
For all the years we've both fallen through
I still tremble on that brink with you.
Hidden hearts still call out to each other
But when you fall there's no return
If I should ever learn to call you my lover
I do believe my tongue would burn.
You can tone down the colours and fade them to grey
You can move to the borders where time fades away
You can bury the feelings you can scrub out the stain
In the blink of an eye its all vivid again.
I brought you everything I believed in
Only to find the god withdrawn
I let you love me in the ragged light of the evening
And leave me in the whisky light of dawn.
