Lyrics Alison Moyet

Alison Moyet

Fire

Behold the city rocks

And what you really want

Won't stay with you

Oh how the shifting light

Once clean, precise

Conspires now to play with you

Dust falls on everyone

Our innocence with time all rearranged

Two hearts beat on

Dismayed to find their rhythm so

estranged, oh

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm on fire with you

Today I walk familiar lanes

'neath stone and spire where

nothings changed

But space and time

And if you tread your step the same

choose this hour, this day

Feel your hand for mine

Ours was a cruel exchange

Staying whole or being me and you

Forget, or find a way

To cut a hole that only we pass through

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm on fire with you

Dust falls on everyone

Our innocence with time all rearranged

Two hearts beat on

Dismayed to find their rhythm so

estranged, oh

I'm on fire

I'm on fire

I'm on fire with you
