Lyrics

When The Night's On Fire

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was hoping, could you be my inspiration

whatever should become in the candlelight

I was dreaming, was it my imagination

tomorrow never comes in the candlelight

When the night's on fire

do you need love's arms to hold you

it's a flame there burns no finer

when you see one bird

there's another watching over

and the two can fly much higher

I was listening, to the wind that walks the hours

I never would have heard

in the candlelight

I was hoping, would you shelter me from showers

I believe every word in the candlelight

When the night's on fire and you burn

like a flame that's burning in the rain

do you need somewhere to turn

when you see one bird

it's the two that fly higher

and a second in heaven's worth whole life's

trouble and trial
