Sick With the Old Fire

歌詞

I woke from a lovely dream I was rescuing you and I from a thief In the gold of a dying summer day There is no such thing as now Only what was and what will be Where do we live with certainty? Tell me Cause here tonight I see the fading coals Yeah they go on burning for so long On and on they glow What kind of fire makes them strong? Sick with the old fire I still burn I was chasing a holy ghost It brought me to some stormy coast There to be infected with more need And then I found my way back home And I'm swallowing pills And I'm casting stones And I'm making believe I've got plans to get well But it's a hard sell Cause here tonight I see the distant stars Yeah, they send their light out for so long I'm a firefly in a jar I can only burn here for so long Sick with the old fire I still burn
