Lyrics:

Darling I'm getting kind of tired

Of being a lover under fire
Darling things will never get brighter

If I remain under fire

I am on my way

Will you help to keep my heart light
Give me silence and give me time
Give me a good thought to fix my mind

 

I could be there on your death bed
To pass you over when you are older to burn your body

But I cannot remain a lover under fire

I wanna honour my name

Because time is an endless highway
And life darling it just ain't
Would you lighten the silence

And the dark that awaits

 

I could be there on your death bed
To pass you over when you are older to burn your body
I could pledge my allegiance to your heart and your blood
But I cannot remain a lover under fire

 

I wanna die singing your favorite song

In an old abandoned church with the lights turned off
Smoking cigarettes till a fire starts
Till there's nothing but a burnt cross and a broken heart

I wanna live in the shadows with him
And make him do the things I might of done
Till you can't get away from my kind of sin
Till there's nothing left to burn and nowhere to run

 

I could be there on your death bed
To pass you over when you are older to burn your body
I could pledge my allegiance to your heart and your blood
But I cannot remain a lover under fire

A lover under fire

A lover under fire

A lover under fire
