Signal fire

Signal fire Lyrics

Warm breezes on the island shore
Another night is setting in
I feed on the landscape and drink in the air
Forgetting the deeper starvation

Then a melody cry
Some voice of distance
Pull tight around me the voice of a man
Fold right around me the arms of a man
If not for this dividing sea

He and I light our signal fires
The smoke memories of things to be
In realness our lives of streets and keys
And spiderweb wires
Weave an ocean
Dive unafraid and surface at the other's flame
Oh wise desire
See his signal fire

Then a melody cry
Some voice of distance
Torn innocence, the voice of a child
Once born innocent, the heart of a child
Maybe cries out for me

She and I light our signal fires
The sparks anger and hope combined
In realness the crushing ties that bind
To a passive despair
Overcome this
Dive unafraid and surface at the other's flame
Lift it higher
See her signal fire

And the island is shelter
And the island is cold as the dark isolates me
If I stay here forever...

You and I light our signal fires
The flames all our love to be given away
In realness we're strangers and dare not to say
What the future may bear
I am searching
Dive unafraid and call the other by name
Your hidden pyre
I see your signal fire
