Walk Through Fire - Kayak

How they met is a mystery

Life passed by so quietly

All that’s left are pictures and notes

That tell us of their hopes and plans, journeys that would never end

Memos of love that one of them wrote

We will walk through fire,

Fly around the sun,

Walk the wire,

Our dreams have just begun

They lived their lives impatiently

Time passed by, accordingly

All that’s left are pictures and notes

that hide away the pain crept in doubt and envy

froze their skin

A quiet grief that none of them showed

For they would walk through fire

Reach out for the moon

Walk the wire

Some dreams just end too soon

The wind could tell you a story

about why some things came to pass

About swims and facing reality

running behind different snakes in the grass

Take a look at the world, slowly falling apart

Burying head to tail, digging up dirt

It’s slowly going nowhere

When your vision is blurred and there’s a hole in your heart

Lies won’t shake you, bend or break you

The wind could tell you a story but then

what good would it do?

So let bygones be bygones, snakes in the grass

they mean nothing to you

Take a look at the world, slowly falling apart

Burying head to tail, digging up dirt

It’s slowly going nowhere

When your vision is blurred and there’s a hole in your heart

Lies won’t shake you, bend or break you

Love will always find you, captivate and blind you

Take you by the hand, breaking barriers and fences

Oh they tell you love is like a river, a promise she’ll deliver

To set our hearts alight and get you through the night

Love defies all evil,

rules by charm and treason

Once it’s in command, the quest is cruel and relentless

Sometimes love’s a funeral choir, kindled by desire

to set all hearts alight and make the world seem bright

Another night, another day

Another heart to betray

The right goes on and on and on

The wheels are turning

Another rule, another phase

All the touching of grace

The secret mantra keeps on running through your head

The river’s wide and dark and deep

The roads are running long and steep

And tides are high within the seas, the tide is turning

It keeps you knocking more and more, knocking on every other door

Until the day you find the devil in your bed

feel the waves blowing silently,

whispering words from the sky

Don’t speak, don’t make a sound

as we graciously let sleeping dogs lie

Love can be gentle while it’s hard

You try to touch it then it’s gone

You spend your days escaping on this silent journey

Because we were more than just machines

with some magic gasoline to take you all the way to paradise and back

walk through fire

Reach out for the moon

Walk the wire

Some dreams will end too soon…
