Earth and Fire

I don’t know what to say
Could I just say I’m sorry?
I’m just not that kind
Or could I walk away
Not miss this life of mine?

Do I let your smile
Reach deep to my heart?
Do I let you love me
When the heart yearns inside?

For a fire to keep me alive
For a wind to take me away
To a world where passion takes over
And a life I can’t throw away

Can I let you feel
What you once knew was true?
When I know I feel
That my soul longs anew?

For a fire to keep me alive
For a wind to take me away
To a world where passion takes over
And a life I can’t throw away

What I want and what I need
Is like a mountain and the sea
Can I swim and not breathe?
Could I sore but not fall deep?

Like the grains of the sand
I seep through your fingers
I fly from your hand
Like a bird that lingers
Till the wind calls its name.
