I always thought this song was about a bad relationship, but one day I had the idea that it was about Mark and his wife, that he is basically singing about marrying young and still being in love with his wife.
The song starts out, “You can’t recall me [ever being] on my own.” But, this knot [ring] i...
[Verse 1]
You can't recall me on my own and you are amused
But this knot is not a noose, I love her
I'd do it all again
Don't pity me
[Chorus]
I know what I'm doing
I don't even feel the pain love ignites
And I have been so long
At the mercy of the flame
[Verse 2]
She's a fever in my bones, I'll never get well
You can laugh and you can tell I'm hopeless
I'll take that chance
Don't pity me
[Chorus]
I know what I'm doing
I don't even feel the pain love ignites
And I have been so long
At the mercy of the flame
[Bridge]
At the mercy of a fever
I'm wax in the sun
Oh oh, she's more than a flame
And I'll gladly be burned
I'll gladly be burned
I'll gladly be burned
[Verse 3]
Have my senses taken leave, I doubt if you know
You just see me growing old but I feel it
I feel the same as always
Don't pity me
[Chorus]
I know what I'm doing
I don't even feel the pain love ignites
And I have been so long
At the mercy of the flame
[Outro]
I know what I'm doing
I don't even feel the pain love ignites
And I have been so long at the mercy of the flame
Been so long at the mercy of the flame
Been so long at the mercy of the flame
At the mercy of the flame (at the mercy of the flame)
At the mercy of the flame (at the mercy of the flame)
At the mercy of the flame (at the mercy of the flame)
At the mercy of the flame (at the mercy of the flame)
At the mercy of the flame (at the mercy of the flame)
At the mercy of the flame (at the mercy of the flame)
At the mercy of the flame...
