Here we stand hand in hand
See those stars those shifting sands
If I stay it falls apart
It's sad but true
I'll break your heart

I know that river still flows
On and on
But that hatred has tainted my soul
So the story goes

Close but far back again
Lovers lost sweet lament
If I stay it falls apart
It's sad but true
I'll break your heart

You shouldn't stay here with me
For all you know
What was, what is will now be
For all the world to see

I feel no shame, I was to blame
(The) Water's on fire
I feel no shame, I will not change
(The) Water's on fire

Here we are one last chance
Can we share this final dance
If I stay it falls apart
It's sad but true
I'll break your heart

You shouldn't stay here with me
For all you know
What was, what is will now be
For all the world to see

I feel no shame, I was to blame
Water's on fire
I feel no shame, I will not change
(The) Water's on fire
You thought the truth was only you
My love or desire
I feel no shame, I will not change
(The) Water's on fire

Gimme the fire

Ahh ohh
Water's on fire
Ahh ohh
Water's on fire

Water's on fire
