Flames

[Verse 1:]
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 hose.

[Chorus:]
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, love, if only I could find
A way to ease your troubled mind.

[Verse 2:]
I'm looking for remains among 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.

[Verse 3:]
If I knew how
I'd calm your nights
And 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 bygone days.

[Chorus:]
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
When it's hard on me, then it's hard on you
Oh dear, love, if only I could find
A way to ease your troubled mind.

[Outro:]
Your mind.
