Burning Heart, Burning Star
I viewed from afar
the things I saw
That lay in my heart
Burning star
The fire flickers
Burning star
Burning heart
I was there,
in the cold of space
My heart
Laid bare
The fire flickers...
The dying embers of my heart
Burning star
Such things,
viewed from afar
Such detachment,
burning star
The fire flickers
Burning heart
Burning star
I reached out to a star
Say what you mean
The heart quickens
The fire flickers,
from afar
