Find Something Burning

Contributed by daniella on Friday, 5th December 2008 @ 04:21:22 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



I was scared of seeing fireflies in the dark
Flickering spontaneously against the blackness of the trees
Tilting my head, to hear the sound of the lark
Standing up
Brushing off
The dirt and leaves from my knees

And with our lips, we find something burning
We find something burning
We find something burning
And with our mouths, we put out the flame
And place all the blame
On anyone else but us
Anyone else but us

And there was a dawning come spreading
Over the river
And you leaned up against the bark
and shivered
And I knew you'd pull the briars
From my hair
I turned my head to the sky and all I saw was haze
Hovering there

Like snow in eyelashes, you're caught in my sight
Like snow in eyelashes, you're caught in my sight
