Track Insight / Lyrics
Holding fast the worn edge, where once hands gripped
Flicker 'til your dying light is dimmed and clipped
Checkered tape, a story told
Multicolored lies, as the embers grow old
Pasted Polaroids of lovers, and unmade plans
Revealed in candlelight, strangers' tender hands
Find shelter in the dark, two souls alight
In Fires in the Dark, on this winter's night
Fires in the dark, our ghosts will not depart
In the flickering light, find a love to restart
When the flames go out, the embers hold the truth
Fires in the Dark, a love that will outlast youth
Maps crumpled, routes untraveled, where dreams took flight
Scattered pages, hospital beds, in sterile white
This cassette's halfway home, from one long drive
Memories of miles, a love that's hard to survive
Pasted Polaroids of lovers, and unmade plans
Revealed in candlelight, strangers' tender hands
Find shelter in the dark, two souls alight
In Fires in the Dark, on this winter's night
Fires in the dark, our ghosts will not depart
In the flickering light, find a love to restart
When the flames go out, the embers hold the truth
Fires in the Dark, a love that will outlast youth
Shoulder to shoulder, left the safe after midnight's call
Fingers intertwined, walking through the freezing fall
Your hands, a refuge, in the city's endless sprawl
Two good-luck charms, chasing one last chance to crawl
Fires in the dark, our ghosts will not depart
In the flickering light, find a love to restart
When the flames go out, the embers hold the truth
Fires in the Dark, a love that will outlast youth
And as the damper kills the final spark
In Fires in the Dark, our hearts leave their mark
A smoldering ember, glowing still and true
This love remains, in Fires in the Dark, for me and you.
