|
in rivulets the paper set |
|
the water rushed and tumbled |
|
all around our feet |
|
it was an inch deep in the street |
|
it started in a factory |
|
a block of flame |
|
a knot of smoke all gnarled and black |
|
and the heat that pushed us back |
|
and this |
|
this is the same fire |
|
and this |
|
this is the same fire |
|
and i was there when the rain came |
|
when the wind and wet and ashes |
|
made me speckled black |
|
and so i ran the five blocks back |
|
and when you came to the door |
|
and you let me in |
|
it's like i saw you for the very first time again |
|
you were beautiful |
|
goddamn you were beautiful |
|
and this |
|
this is the same fire |
|
and this |
|
this is the same fire |
|
and this |
|
this is the same fire |
|
that you light in me |
|
that you light in me |
|
that you light in me |
|
that you light in me |
|
the white house 1814 |
|
moscow 1812 |
|
san francisco after the earthquake |
|
i loved you then as well |
|
the library of alexandria |
|
and all of rome at least twice |
|
and i know this is the biggest blaze |
|
i've ever seen in my entire life |
|
a million firefighters |
|
and 99 alarms |
|
an ocean full of water |
|
i will burn through it all unharmed |
|
i will burn through it all unharmed |
|
i will burn through it all unharmed |
|
for you |
|
you're so beautiful |
|
goddamn you're so beautiful |
|
this, this is the same fire |
|
this, this is the same fire |
|
this, this is the same fire (that you light in me) |
|
this, this is the same fire (that you light in me) |
|
this, this is the same fire (that you light in me) |
|
this, this is the same fire (that you light in me) |
