I slept through the fire
"Be still, shut your eyes"
It sang me to sleep with its lullaby
As I let that fire die
I slept through the fire in your eyes
An ocean between us and lonely goodnights
You'd lay next to me as we'd sleep
But the distance between us had taken its toll on me
Just waiting for the day
Everything's okay
And we both accept
Each others imperfections
But I can't, you're far too cold
I slept through the fire in my house
The ashes and refuse all came crashing down around me
As I slept the night through
The only thing keeping me cool was the thought of you
Just running through my head
With your bitterness
Like old man winter
"Why was I with her"
I thought of you most every night
I slept through the fire
"Be still, shut your eyes"
It sang me to sleep with its lullaby
As I let that fire die
