|
My eyes are filled with light |
|
My feet can't touch the ground |
|
From up here I can see the sight |
|
Of my hometown city burning down |
|
Now it blazes for me house by house |
|
And my legs they buckle under me |
|
But I don't mind, I sing the old song of joy |
|
For I know why and why it had to be |
|
Higher, let the flames grow higher |
|
Erase my name from your lips as we kiss |
|
Higher, let the flames grow higher |
|
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list |
|
Now there's one soul less on your fiery list |
|
Now I drive familiar smoky streets |
|
I know this town, I know where to turn |
|
All the while I kept a road map in my head |
|
I just came back to see the people and their houses burn |
|
One soul less on your fiery list |
|
Hometown farewell |
|
This is my hometown farewell kiss |
