| You are not permanent
|
| But you are here
|
| You are not everlasting
|
| And you haven’t begun to stoke the fires
|
| There is a flicker of light
|
| Where only the bravest burn so bright
|
| People will sit there
|
| Jealous and cold
|
| Safe in the shaded meadow
|
| And they will shoot you down with bow and arrow
|
| They see you clearly in their sights
|
| Where only the bravest burn so bright
|
| Standing on the corner
|
| In a hurricane
|
| Reaching out for something
|
| And catching only rain
|
| There on the corner
|
| Is where you’ll here me say
|
| That only the bravest burn so bright
|
| Your head is full of
|
| Doubts and fears
|
| I know that she’s winning
|
| And you don’t have to be reduced to begging
|
| Even devoted dogs will bite
|
| And only the bravest burn so bright
|
| Standing on the corner
|
| In a hurricane
|
| Reaching out for something
|
| And catching only rain
|
| There on the corner
|
| Is where you’ll here me say
|
| That only the bravest burn so bright
|
| Where do you wanna go?
|
| East or west?
|
| Which direction is pulling?
|
| And I will be right behind you if you lose your footing
|
| Don’t need a torch to ward off the night
|
| Where only the bravest burn so bright
|
| Yeah, only the bravest burn so bright
|
| Look me in the eye and tell me you love me
|
| I am your eye, says he
|
| I hope that you see each other in each other
|
| I hope that you’ll be the eye of each other
|
| I hope that today will be in eternity, okay?
|
| Don’t forget your father-in-law |
