Lyrics

Forest Fire

[Verse 1]

You were a forest fire

Burning effervescent through the night

I was a drunk empire

Looking for a light

You were the wind at night

Effortlessly blowing

I will burn you in my mind

I will burn you in my mind

[Verse 2]

You were the dead of night

Burning in the embers of my eyes

I was a distant light

Shimmering after life

You were the pre-dawn light

Gleaming, ever-dreaming

I will love you for all time

I will love you for all time

Oh, the way I feel for you

My love forever true

The way I feel for you

You have burned through my defenses

Oh, the way I feel for you

My love forever-blooms

The way I feel for you

You’ve devoured all my senses

[Instrumental]

[Outro]

You were the forest fire

You were a forest fire

You were a forest fire (I love you for all time)

You were a forest fire (burn you in my mind)

You were a forest fire (burn through my defenses)

You were a forest fire (devoured all my senses)

You were a forest fire (I love you for all time)

You were a forest fire (burn you in my mind)

You were a forest fire (burn you in my mind)

You were a forest fire (burn you in my mind)

You were a forest fire (burn you in my mind)

You were a forest fire (burn you in my mind)
