Daniel, when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart
And under wild blue skies
Marble movie skies
I found a home in your eyes
We'd never be apart
And when the fires came
The smell of cinders and rain
Perfumed almost everything
We laughed and laughed and laughed
And in the golden-blue car
You took me to the darkest place you knew
And set fire to my heart
When I run in the dark (Daniel)
Into a place that's lost (Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart (Daniel)
I dream of home
But in a goodbye bed
With my arms around your neck
Into our mouths the tears crept
Just kids in the eye of the storm
And as my house spun round
My dreams pulled me from the ground
Forever to search for the flame
For home again!
For home again!
When I run in the dark (Daniel)
Into a place that's lost (Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart (Daniel)
I dream of home
When I run in the dark (Daniel)
Into a place that's lost (Daniel)
Under a sheet of rain in my heart (Daniel)
I dream of home
