The Fire - Laura Gibson

Are you carried by a restless wind?

Does it saddle you with brave ideas?

With battle scars and souvenirs

To hang across your shoulder blades

Oh if you’re hot as the sun

I will not question your ways

Oh if you’re hot as the sun

Be not afraid of the fire

The shape of bodies galloping

Will follow every song you sing

Oh they sparkle like a wedding ring

And hold you like a melody

Oh if you’re drawn to the flame

I will not question your ways

Oh if you’re drawn to the flame

Be not afraid of the fire

In the creases of our histories

From candlewax to motherhood

To sliding down the banisters

Oh fate will have no grudge to hold

Oh if you swallow the fuel

I cannot question your will

Oh if you swallow the fuel

Be not afraid of the fire
