Song Lyrics

As the light from the fire in the sky slowly burns away
And the night will dry up the tears of the day
Will the flames from the fire in your eyes be the reason I fall?
This disease has me down on my knees when I hear you call...
My name

Taking flight on the wings of desire we begin to see
That our need for a lust to concede is a tragedy
In your arms I'm laying awake as we count the stars
That feel so far away
We believe that all we need is the sun to rise before our eyes

THEN WE CAN SILENTLY FADE AWAY
(WITH THE MOON AND THE STARS IN THE SKY)
AND WE CAN FIND OUR WAY SOME DAY
THEN FOOLISHLY WE FLOAT AWAY INTO THE NIGHT
STRAIGHT INTO THIS FIRE IN THE SKY
AND I FEEL THAT THE END CAN NEVER BE REAL

In the dust, the ash of a funeral pyre
In the clouds, the flashes of pure desire
You can feel the fire inside as it burns through my heart
With a love that can part the sea
Endlessly when we fall to the fight
Then we, too can rise into the night

THEN WE CAN SILENTLY FADE AWAY
(WITH THE MOON AND THE STARS IN THE SKY)
AND WE CAN FIND OUR WAY SOME DAY
THEN FOOLISHLY WE FLOAT AWAY INTO THE NIGHT
STRAIGHT INTO THIS FIRE IN THE SKY
AND I FEEL...YES, I FEEL

THEN WE CAN SILENTLY FADE AWAY
(WITH THE MOON AND THE STARS IN THE SKY)
AND WE CAN FIND OUR WAY SOME DAY
THEN FOOLISHLY WE FLOAT AWAY INTO THE NIGHT
STRAIGHT INTO THIS FIRE IN THE SKY
AND I FEEL THAT THE END CAN NEVER BE REAL
