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
