Some
say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I
know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a
stream
See, honey, I saw love,
You see it came to me
It puts
its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love
disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing
See
the cage, it called. I said, come on in
I will not open myself up
this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the
sand
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will
not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledged
by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see the cage it called. I
said, come on in
I will not open myself this way again.
You
see the moon is bright in that treetop night
I see the shadows
that we cast in the cold clean light
I might fear I go and my
heart is white
And we race right out on the desert plains all
night
So honey I am now, some broken thing
I do not lay in the
dark waiting for day here
Now my heart is gold, my feet are
right
And I'm racing out on the desert plains all night
So
some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
All
that I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from
some awful dream
And all you folks, you come to see
You just to
stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild, and
my bones are steel
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I
was free
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love,
You see it came to me
It puts its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing
I will not open myself up this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledged by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see the cage it called. I said, come on in
I will not open myself this way again.
