Love's Fleeting Fire

Love’s Fleeting Fire
Reed Jones, Deadwax Pilgrim Publishing, BMI

You hang over me like you're framed on the wall
But that picture came down long ago
Though it depicted a love so warm
You took with you love’s bright glow
I’ve felt the flame of scathing desire
There’s nothing that burns like love’s fleeting fire
With darkness that grows from the light as it fades
The thaw is nowhere to be found
I’m warming up to the fire as it wanes
I shiver and burn to the ground
I’ve felt the flame of scathing desire
There’s nothing that burns like love’s fleeting fire
If I could arrest the passing of days
And find a way out of my mind
I’d find that the cold and the burn are the same
Like only your love could combine
I’ve felt the flame of scathing desire
There’s nothing that burns like love’s fleeting fire
