Daniel Mclean Lyrics - Singles - The Fire Tonight

Daniel Mclean says he's lost all his dreams 

and he lost all his hair but he found an affair 

that makes him feel alive when he cheats on his wife 

because the man he was died from routine 

oh God set me free from the dubious dreams 

of the Daniel Mcleans and their lies 

Daniel's bride can't do anything right 

it's just not like it was when they first fell in love 

so he justifies the adulterous nights 

because he's not the one who has changed 

oh God set me free from the dubious dreams 

of the Daniel Mcleans and their lies 

let me see the truth that what may not be new 

has always been good and been right 

it wasn't a moment he didn't decide 

not to love her 

but one day, more than he wanted his wife 

he wanted others 

he did not fight, did not shed his blood 

did not give his life, he gave up on love 

[chorus]
