Watching the Fires
Running through the castle
The fires around you burn
I'm a ghost here
From somewhere
Watching the fires around you burn
Oh oh oh
Watching the fires around you burn
Oh oh oh
Watching the fires around you burn
There's a fireplace beside your be
There's a candle in the hall
There's a burning to be someone else
When the summer turns to fall
Oh oh oh
Watching the fires around you burn
Oh oh oh
Watching the fires around you burn
And the salamander colour (ouh, ouh)
Goes and washes through the water (ouh, ouh)
And the space beneath the picture (ouh, ouh)
And the comfort that it brought her (ouh, ouh)
And she lights herself a pipe (ouh, ouh)
And sings herself to sleep (ouh, ouh)
Singing
Watching the fires around you burn
Watching the fires around you burn
Watching the fires around you burn
Watching the fires around you burn
Watching the fires around you burn
Watching the fires around you burn
There's a burning to be someone else
When the summer turns to fall
