Fires In July

Here I stand, time ticking away My hands, shaking, as I sway With you, my heart will play In your presence I wish to stay Fire, I see it in the skies Taking with it the truth and the lies When I'm with you, my soul flies Through the heat and burning in your eyes With a glance, I feel you searing Into my flesh, and my soul peering Listening to the sounds you're hearing Now knowing all that I am fearing I see the smoke billow within And to my fire it is akin Like an identical twin As if with you I've always been And, in the morning, we two away As my hands, shaking, do still sway With you my heart will always play In the fires of this summer's day
