lyrics

As I look into your eyes
Mine are red and desert dry
And, darling, fire falls from the sky
But I am safe in the oasis of your eyes

Your breath could heal all damage done
By the distance I have come
But it seems you're not as simple as some
As you speak of what I am to become

You tame the fire that falls and spreads
And draw it up to wreathe our heads
And I fear for my life
But I know that I cannot hide

And as you hold my weary gaze
I feel that I have been betrayed
But blessed am I that smoke will choke my cries
Still my mouth and stir my mind

You show me that I have been blind
I lay down what I thought was my life
For I know, on the other side
I will awake in the oasis of your eyes
