I slept all night in the bows of a tall tree
That stretched its branches skywards
If I could learn any lesson from sleeping beside you
I'd say keep your feet planted firmly on the ground.
I wrote many journeys, both with and without you,
Travel the roads ‘till my feet were that color.
I saw many stars even before I met you,
When you love and you waste and my feet left the ground.
And oh, it hurts more than I can say,
To have the whole world
And then to have it swept away.
Your raging fire couldn't do me any harm
And I know because I burn for you, I burn for you, I burn 
for you.
I've known your love since before you could speak it,
I held you closer than she'll ever will.
We burned so bright that the night was extinguished,
Bright as the music that flow through our fingers.
And oh, it hurts more than I can say,
To have the whole world
And then to have it swept away.
Your raging fire couldn't do me any harm
And I know because I burn for you, I burn for you, I burn 
for you.
