She Prefers Fire Lyrics - Singles - Conway Deborah

Deborah Conway 

She stood on the steps behind a man 

He lit a cigarette and leaned on the rail 

The smell of burning made her head clear 

Thinking all the thoughts she hadn't thought for years 

Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost 

Old friends go to war 

Love comes love goes 

Everything that we have echoes what we desire 

She prefers fire 

Tomorrow no plan will carry her away 

This evening the man well he wonders what to say 

The sparks are lighting up the night sky 

Possessions, letters now just fuel for history 

And from the bridge she's seen 

Water pale and green 

She still prefers fire 

Sometimes I dream that everything I own 

Could burn up and 

Leave me no sadness no home 

A flame collapsing from the inside 

Antiseptic, honest blue and purest white
