Bonfires In Hell Lyrics - Balm In Gilead - Rickie Lee Jones

There's just one thing before I go 

You are the sweetest boy I know 

I've lived my whole life in the past 

I awoke last night at last 

I thought I'd finally won your heart that forever never part 

And in sweet love we would grow old 

Now I'm just a scavenger in the cold 

I'm just a scavenger 

All I can do is wish you well 

And light the bonfires of hell 

Honey, you hurt me bad this time 

I'm burning everything I find 

You hurt me bad this time 

You nearly tore me from my mind 

Before I knew I had been hurt 

She laid her hair across your shirt 

She laid her hair 

All I can do is wish you well 

And light the bonfires of hell 

There's just one thing before I go 

You are the sweetest boy I know 

You are the sweetest boy 

If there's a sun I'll watch it rise 

To dry the tears out of my eyes 

If there's a river you can bet 

There'll be a sea from my heart yet 

There'll be a sea from my heart yet
