Love is a fire that will burn your eyes
It will scorch your skin if it burns just right
I’m a fool I’m a fool and I took that light
And I built a star on a hill that night
Oh my Lord oh my Lord
I’ll regain my sight
Fight the devil’s snare
In the deep of the night
And the push and the pull
Of that changed light
Melts the crowns of men and oh
You know that battered man with his bleeding eye
A king by dark, but a beggar in the light
Oh a soul, oh my soul will be brought to light
When the thicket burns and colors the night
All this fright all this fright
And the devil’s in the night
Never knew which arrow pointed north
But there’s a fire on the hill
And the grass is getting warmer
On my barefeet always pointed home
