Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Oh, it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
[Verse 2]
My fading voice sings of love
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time
[Verse 3]
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
[Verse 4]
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh, drink a bit of wine, we both might go tomorrow
Oh, my love
[Verse 5]
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
[Verse 6]
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Fire
[Verse 7]
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow, oh
[Verse 8]
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire
Wait in the fire...
