LYRIC FOR SALE

By Stephen Russell

Walking alone down a path
In a desparate dream
Walking alone to the cries
Of a chastening scream
The flames burn high
Across the sky
The flames burn high
Into the night
Helpless, I call out her name
Praying for a reply
Losing control of myself
As I enter the fire
I see her eyes
Inside the blaze
A guiding light
As she explained

So now you know you've got to breathe
Discount your friends
Just let them leave
Now you know you've got to breathe
She cried
So now you know you were deceived
Just make amends
Then we can leave
Now you know you were deceived
She sighed

A heavenly voice in the night
Brings my dream to an end
Embracing my bride by my side
Such a passionate friend
The dream's erased
I kiss her face
She takes my hand
As she commands

So now you know you've got to breathe
Discount your friends
Just let them leave
Now you know you've got to breathe
She cried
So now you know you were deceived
Now make amends
Then we can leave
Now you know we've got to breathe
She sighed
