Cooling Of The Embers Lyrics - Set Me On Fire - Missy Higgins

You put your hand on top of mine 

you're talking fast but talking blind 

and I can't bring myself to meet you're eyes 

'cos death is slowly covering you 

in galaxies of black and blue 

and under your skin all his colours bloom 

And you're only half here 

like someone left a frail body and took the rest 

But I remember when you were strong 

never wanted help from no-one 

what you've become is not who I remember

Is this the cooling of the embers? 

She's off again through summers past 

the smell of rain and freshly cut grass 

seems those ordinary days are the ones that last 

Cos he was there, the one you loved 

the one you never could let go of 

and there's something you know as you're looking up 

That your only half here 

like someone left a frail body and stole the rest 

But I remember when you were strong 

never wanted help from no-one 

what you've become is not who I remember 

Is this the cooling of the embers? 

is this the cooling of the embers?

Cos you are not who I remember 

it's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more 

and all of our yesterday's have gone 

You put your hand on top of mine 

you're talking fast but talking blind 

and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes...
