Intro: verse 1 True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree Willow dancin' on air before covering me Under garden and calicos Over canopy dabbled long ago True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree Must be felt 'fore the fight, the call Friendly fire, but that was long ago But that's not tonight (Oh, oh) When I'm set alight (Oh, oh) And I blink inside (Oh, oh) Your blinding light (Oh, oh) Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh) When you hold me tight (Oh, oh) All the fire bright (Oh, oh) Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh) Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh) Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh) Instrumental: Verse: 2 With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat Feel it soft and as pure as snow Fell in love with the fire long ago With each love I could lose, I was never the same Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame I was fixed on your hand of gold Lay in waste of my lovin' long ago But that's not tonight (Oh, oh) When I'm set alight (Oh, oh) And I blink inside (Oh, oh) Your blinding light (Oh, oh) Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh) When you hold me tight (Oh, oh) All the fire bright (Oh, oh) Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh) Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh) Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh) Verse: 3 So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame Long as amber of ember glows All the wood that I'd loved is long ago But that's not tonight (Oh, oh) When I'm set alight (Oh, oh) And I blink inside (Oh, oh) Your blinding light (Oh, oh) Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh) When you hold me tight (Oh, oh) All the fire bright (Oh, oh) Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh) Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh) Hope that you're good to me (Oh, oh) Oh, oh, hope you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh) Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
