Flickering Flame

Oh, I wanted to see a fire ablaze in my heart

A flame, not full of smoke

I know Your love is a fire

Why am I so cold?

My flesh it screams: You’re a liar

Those cries are so old

The smoke ascends, the embers dim

Just follow its trail

Help me, I’m so weak and so frail

I’m waiting for a reaction

And the motions in between

I’m looking for You

Every night I watch and wait

As my candle’s burning out

Every night I scream and shout

As my patience turns to doubt

Stay with Me, my flickering flame

Stay with Me, I know your name

Quit your fight, it is all in vain

When your flame takes flight

It will last the pouring rain

I’m waiting, flame smoking, and fading out

I’m fading, withering, will I weather?

I’m waiting, sustain me, help me weather

I’m fading, flame smoking, flickering and fading out

Oh, I wanted to feel the fire before mine goes out

A flame so bright it blinds

I’m waiting for a reaction

And the motions in between

I’m looking for You, right now

Stay with Me flickering flame

I know your name

Every night I’ll watch and wait

As my candle’s burning out

Every night I’m filled with doubt

I will cry to You and shout
