In the night, the fire grows high
So lay your head, sweet and mild
I haven't seen you since I was a child
Oh my brother, this river's been wild
I still wait for you through the night
Come back home, I'll keep the lights burning bright,
In the shadows, my demons they hide
Who knew they'd be the same as you and I.
Don't bother, I can see what's wrong.
I can see it in your eyes, I see it all over your arms.
You cry like father, my weeping willow tree
That's where you will find me, that's where I'll be
I still wait for you through the night
Come back home, I'll keep the lights burning bright.
In the shadows, my demons they hide
Who knew they'd be the same as you and I.
Wildfires high in the trees
Won't you take me with you, please?
Smoke so thick, I cannot breathe.
Broke through every branch of the evergreens.
Ashes to ashes, all over me.
You promised me, you promised me.
Ashes ain't snow.
This is love with no place to go.
But still I wait for you all night
Come back home, I'll keep the lights burning bright.
In the shadows...
