231117: Dancing Like A Flame

from Leap Songs, Part 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Love is a candle on a winter day
Flicker so fragile then it blows away
Everything's brighter when the blaze begins
But nothing is standing when the fireworks end

We burn it down down to the ground
And then we do it again
White hot flames and I call your name
Out loud 'til the end

I'll go up in smoke
Turn to ash and choke on what remains
Just for one more night when you and I
Are dancing like a flame

Your heart is paper mine's gasoline
I love the danger in the spark between
Someday the embers will slowly die
We'll stop igniting but not tonight

You got a lighter I got a match
Let's start a fire go up in a flash
