Lyrics

[00:30.96] Some say love is a burning thing
[00:37.99] That it makes a fiery ring
[00:43.01] Oh but I know love as a fading thing
[00:48.69] Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
[00:52.83] See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me
[01:00.11] It put its face up to my face so I could see
[01:05.79] Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
[01:11.20] Into something I am not recognizing
[01:38.25] See, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in"
[01:44.67] I will not open myself up this way again
[01:49.96] Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
[01:55.67] I will not lay like this for days now upon end
[02:00.96] You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
[02:06.56] To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands
[02:12.15] You see, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in"
[02:18.03] I will not open myself up this way again
[02:45.05] You see, the moon is bright in that treetop night
[02:51.34] I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean light
[02:57.12] My feet are gold. My heart is white
[03:02.61] And we race out on the desert plains all night
[03:08.23] See, honey, I am not some broken thing
[03:13.37] I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
[03:18.97] No my heart is gold. My feet are light
[03:24.85] And I am racing out on the desert plains all night
[04:15.02] So some say love is a burning thing
[04:20.74] That it makes a fiery ring
[04:26.13] Oh but I know love as a caging thing
[04:31.91] Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
[04:37.41] O and all you folks, you come to see
[04:42.68] You just stand there in the glass looking at me
[04:48.61] But my heart is wild. And my bones are steam
[04:54.66] And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free
