Wick & Flame

Dry leaves on the flame
We’re all going out of style again
And all of our friends are dead to us
That dot in the sky
Do you think there’s someone there?
Looking back at us
Don’t be scared
You’re a wick and a flame
For all I know, just burnin' away
Ice turns to snow
Snow turns to rain
Don’t be afraid, we’re going away
You’ll never come home, never return
And never be late
Look at the pond
Here by the boat
Six silhouettes, totally alone
With a world of our own
And no bills to pay
A reminder above, our old ways
All those things we did for our ourselves
So, snow turns to rain
Don’t be afraid, we’re going away
You’ll never go home, never return
And never be late
Son, make love from that hate
You’ve built inside
The four walls you made
Throw dead leaves
Into the flame
A brand new stage
