Burn Away - Harry Nagle

I Burn Away
burning in your eyes
could I really leave you something?
When the fire dies
after all the sighs
would you keep me warm with something?

It's just that simple feeling
I want to be with you
captured wild and held back
like a lion in the zoo
you dangled the key outside
I reach but I can't get through
and with your time you'd feed me
but time won't make this new

you slide beneath
all the things in life
like the beneath the paint
drift like the leaves from a tree that dies
did it really live for something?

Such a simple feeling
we lost along the way
in the clouds that hover
over what we made
if all of the mess we sweep up
fills this one last day
think back to a time
when we knew how to play

So long, maybe never see you
been had and fooled too long
So long, maybe never had you
I'll have to carry on

I Burn Away
burning in your eyes
could I really leave you something?
When the fire dies
after all the sighs
would you keep me warm with something?
