Vienna Teng - Signal Fire lyrics
[Vienna Teng - Signal Fire lyrics]
Another night is setting in
I feed on the landscape and drink in the air
Forgetting the deeper starvation
Then a melody cry some voice of distance
Pull tight around me the voice of a man
Fold right around me the arms of a man
If not for this dividing sea
He and I light our signal fires
The smoke memories of things to be
In realness our lives of streets and keys
And spiderweb wires weave an ocean
Dive unafraid and surface at
The other's flame oh wise desire
See his signal fire
Then a melody cry some voice of distance
Torn innocence, the voice of a child
Once born innocent, the heart of a child
Maybe cries out for me
She and I light our signal fires
The sparks anger and hope combined
In realness the crushing ties that bind
To a passive despair overcome this
Dive unafraid and surface at
The other's flame lift it higher
See her signal fire
And the island is shelter
And the island is cold as
The dark isolates me if I stay here forever
You and I light our signal fires
The flames all our love to be given away
In realness we're strangers and
Dare not to say what the future may bear
I am searching
Dive unafraid and call the other by name
Your hidden pyre i see your signal fire
