Flames-Boy
an empty house
the roof's on fire
you're fighting with the flames
my memories and my desires run
like the water through the holes
and I wonder why
this dream won't fade
this constant blue of the darkest shade
weighs heavy on your troubled mind
and I call your name
but I can't get through
and it's hard on me when it's hard on you
oh dear Lord, if only I could find
a way to ease your troubled mind
I'm looking for remains
along the ruins
the dust has settled on your eyes
from the outside those ghosts
they aren't really there at all
but I can't seem to stop them
from throwing shadows on your wall
if I knew how
I'd calm your nerves
I'd soothe your soul and
I'd clear your sight
oh I would fix you
I'd put things back in place
and wave goodbye to nightlong days
oh I wonder why
this dream won't fade
this constant blue of the darkest shade
weighs heavy on your troubled mind
and I call your name
but I can't get through
and it's hard on me when it's hard on you
oh dear Lord, if only I could find
a way to ease your troubled mind
your mind
