when the fire burns out here
it´s brighter than the city lights
warmer than a heart of gold
and dingo´s howl just to break the silence
the sun comes up just to break the cold
last night i woke
with the stars looking back at me
swallowing the sky
i felt no anger, i felt no shame
i felt no reason to cry

if i´m not here in the morning
i´ll cry a river of tears
but i´ll learn to live in a new town
but my heart is staying here

when it´s quiet out here
a hundred miles away
you can hear the train on the line
the whistle blows just to break the silence
i wave just to break the time
i close my eyes
i think of runnin´ water
i think of runnin´ away
but the fires burnt to ashes
and it´s darker than before
but i can see as clear as day
