Lover Under Fire

Darling

I'm getting kind of tired

Of being a lover

Under fire

And darling

Things will never get brighter

If I remain

Under fire

And I

Am on my way

Will you help

To keep my heart alive?

Give me silence

And give me time

Give me a good thought

To fix my mind

I could be there

On your death bed

To pass you over

When you are older

To burn your body

But I cannot remain

A lover under fire

And I

I wanna honor my name

Because time

Is an endless highway

And life

Daring, it just ain't

Would you lighten the silence

In the dark that awaits?

I could be there

On your death bed

To pass you over

When you are older

To burn your body

I could pledge my allegiance

To your heart and your blood

But I cannot remain

A lover under fire

I wanna die singing your favorite song

In an old abandoned church with the lights turned off

Smoking cigarettes 'til the fire starts

'Til there's nothing but a burnt cross and broken hearts

I wanna live in the shadows with him

Make him do the to things I might have done

'Til you, can't get away from my kind of sin

There's nothing left to burn and nowhere to run

I could be there

On your death bed

To pass you over

When you are older

To burn your body

I could pledge my allegiance

To your heart and your blood

But I cannot remain

A lover under fire

A lover under fire

A lover under fire

A lover under fire
