I feel the flames
Licking at the door
Wind and the water flow
And the guide
This thing that sears me
When I awake
In those eyes
The world of it is starting
Over and over again

And it might not be anyone that you wanna know
It might not be anywhere have you been

Things I have wished for
But never seen tell me
How do I know them?
Ribbons of light
Dancing past my window
After the afterglow
If they ask you
Who's that on the ridge tell them
How should I know that?

It might not be anyone that you wanna know
It might not be anywhere have you been

When my love's high
He keeps the morning bright
So things without names
Flare in the modern way

When you write the song
How do you hear it
Before you compare it to something else?
Running down the lawn
After someone you trust
Drown out: the fire's below?
If I could find someone
To know my mind
Even if they did tell me how could I know that?
Things I have wished for
But never seen
Do not include the face of God

It might not be anyone that you wanna know
It might not be anywhere have you been

When my love's high
He keeps the morning bright
So things without names
Flare in the modern way
