Grace Cummings - Up In Flames lyrics
[Grace Cummings - Up In Flames lyrics]
It's not my fault that you won't back down
Like when autumn turns and
The leaves won't let down
To twist and turn under the heel of my feet
And let autumn blow to
Yesterday in the breeze
It's winter now and I feel like Robert Frost
If only there was a birch tree to hang upon
If only I was a poem
Sitting silently in the rain
And you were a dream
Just swimming in it's brain
Notre Dame burns today
Its beauty is up in flame
Should I begin to count my blessings now?
I guess only the Lord must have
Made me what I am now
And you were left just looking at the sky
Waiting for shooting stars to
Wish upon at night
The colour in the wind had nevеr
Painted the sky so blue
You thought you wеre the King
The world must be made for you
And I was a Queen
Not a pawn in anyone's game
And angels heard us sing
"You take away my pain"
Kings and Queens are dust to dust
As it all goes up in flame
All that ever there was had
An answer in sunrise
I just saw the daylight bring burning
Gum leaves with the tide
I have been left alone, please
Won’t you tell me how i can swim ashore
Bring me back to you somehow
You are the sun and I am just the breeze
I will walk with you
If you want to walk with me
I hope the Lord above notices us again
Lord, oh Lord
I don't want anything to change
The shepherds have led their sheep astray
And it's all going up in flame
Like when autumn turns and
The leaves won't let down
To twist and turn under the heel of my feet
And let autumn blow to
Yesterday in the breeze
It's winter now and I feel like Robert Frost
If only there was a birch tree to hang upon
If only I was a poem
Sitting silently in the rain
And you were a dream
Just swimming in it's brain
Notre Dame burns today
Its beauty is up in flame
Should I begin to count my blessings now?
I guess only the Lord must have
Made me what I am now
And you were left just looking at the sky
Waiting for shooting stars to
Wish upon at night
The colour in the wind had nevеr
Painted the sky so blue
You thought you wеre the King
The world must be made for you
And I was a Queen
Not a pawn in anyone's game
And angels heard us sing
"You take away my pain"
Kings and Queens are dust to dust
As it all goes up in flame
All that ever there was had
An answer in sunrise
I just saw the daylight bring burning
Gum leaves with the tide
I have been left alone, please
Won’t you tell me how i can swim ashore
Bring me back to you somehow
You are the sun and I am just the breeze
I will walk with you
If you want to walk with me
I hope the Lord above notices us again
Lord, oh Lord
I don't want anything to change
The shepherds have led their sheep astray
And it's all going up in flame
