Into The Fire

(album: No Place Like Home - 1991)

Floodwaters rising on the flatlands tonight
Been here before I guess we'll get through again
Get your photographs and hide them all away upstairs
Then tie the shutters down against the rain

Last night I took a walk into the fire
Of a young man's dreams
Someday soon I'll leave that innocence behind me
Until then I'm here

Then I looked into your eyes
And saw the years I spent in them
I was amazed to find they still show clear
Out to the edge of every chance I ever took with you
Shining in the darkest places of my fear

Stay free and throw your cares into the future
Let them all come out
Be true and pass those dreams onto someone
Before you wear them out

Come on baby, come on angel
Take a walk into the fire with me now
Come on angel, come on come on my darling
We can talk into the fire here and now

I love the warmth of summers I remember
I see you shimmering in seven veils of haze
I hear the rainfall of a lifetimes worth of autumn
Running on my shoulders like November days

Last night I took a walk into the fire
Of a young girl's dreams
Someday soon I'll leave that innocence behind me
Until then I'm here

Come on baby, come on angel
Take a walk into the fire with me now
Come on angel, come on come on my darling
We can talk into the fire here and now

Come on baby, come on angel
Take a walk into the fire with me now
Come on angel, come on come on my darling
