I sit and wait for you

Like so many others do

Just like they do for me

Well so I do for you



I'd carry fire for you

Here in my naked hands

I'd bare my heart to you

If you will understand



I was a stranger there

Inside your promised land

That turned me inside out

And turned me upside down



I'd carry fire for you

Here in my naked hands

I'd bare my heart to you

If you will understand



Just like

Just like

Just like I scarred you

Just like

Just like

Just like I scarred you



I'm reaching out for you

Across the broken gate

I feel the gathering years

Beyond these lonely wastes



I'd carry fire for you

Here in my naked hands

I'd bare my heart to you

If you will understand



Just like

Just like

Just like I scarred you

Just like

Just like

Just like I scarred you
