You Were On Fire Lyrics - 101 - Keren Ann

I've never seen you clear before 

I've never heard you cry 

My blinded heart has washed ashore 

My innocence's gone dry 

And I wish I had more patience 

There are things I can't reverse 

I don't know why you were so threatened 

By the entire universe 

You were on fire 

Tainted in the sun 

You ran against the raging wind 

Decadent and drunken with desire 

Fooling the love of everyone 

Your reverence in flames 

Your eyes were golden and awake 

You were on fire

No one's ever saved you 

You only saw him bleed 

And his sorrow misbehaved you 

To avenge and not to plead 

But out here, there is no other 

Who has seen you broken down 

Bare and blameless for your lover 

Bold and fearless for the crowd 

You were on fire 

Tainted in the sun 

You ran against the raging wind 

Decadent and drunken with desire 

Fooling the love of everyone 

Your reverence in flames 

Your eyes were golden and awake 

You were on fire
