Civil Twilight - Church on fire Lyrics
Official




Two by two
They came into that sunlit room
The only church in this town
The only town that I ever knew
I sat in the back row
Next to the open door
So I could feel the breeze on my skin
And know that there's something more than just this

I saw her walking down
Bellmont Avenue
And from the back window of my father's car
You waved at me and I waved at you
We kissed after years of waiting
Years of holding hands
And I felt something shift inside my soul
That no man could understand

I burn like a church on fire
In the light of the afternoon
I hope you can feel my desire
Flames rise for you

One by one
I went through all the things I've done
To get to this place I stand
Where I look down and don't recognise my own hand
I wrote you a letter
For every day that I was away
But how many words does one man need
To say what he needs to say

I burn like a church on fire
In the light of the afternoon
I hope you can feel my desire
These flames rise for you

Yeah, that was me
I poured the gasoline
I lit the match for everyone to see
The fireworks in my heart
Yeah, that was me
I burned it to the ground
Yeah, that was me
I burned it all down
I burned this to the ground
Everything that has let us down
Everything that has let us down

Oh my
I went through all the things I've done
