lyrics

FLAME
Hugh Duncan Wilson

I liken you to a flame
shining so bright and burning with a passion
that lights up my senses
all too soon fading and leaving me with your scent
drifting
hints of the moment passing me by
I liken you to a flame
burning to touch
but giving me a light

I feel the flame is drawing me
I feel the flame is warming me
burning me

I like you to the ocean
wild and furious yet enticing and uplifting
you follow me to northern reaches, lochs and black seas
to southern beaches, bays and warm breezes
you pervade all my worlds, changing rearranging me
the ocean’s depth is yours
many colours playing up and down

I feel the waves are drowning me
I feel the waves are washing me
I feel the waves are drowning me
I feel the waves are cooling me

I liken you to the rain
breaking the drought
washing all away the garbage of old
leaving me
with flowing rivers of my soul
I know I should stay inside
in and avoid you
and so I watch entranced
only to go out, get wet
and then curse your leaving

I feel the rain drawing me
I feel the rain washing me
I feel the rain uplifting me
I feel the rain pouring down over me
I feel it
The rain
