A poetic song about the rising and falling temperatures or seasons in a relationship. This one in particular ends in a divorce that burns and beckons old, but better memories.
Its album Adventure boasts a softer, meditative tone compared to its mysterious and foreboding predecessor Marquee Moon.
The Fire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Storms all that summer
We lived in the wind
Out in some room in the wind
Your hands, they were folded
You knew no demands
My tongue, it clattered like tin
[Chorus]
My eyes repeat
They take my seat
Your eyes, they say you resigned from the heat
[Verse 2]
We leaned in the cold
Holding our breath
Watching the corners turn corners
[Verse 3]
Coins on the table
The cards in the air
The face at the window kept smiling
Storms all that winter
We stayed locked away
Waiting, watching, falling
[Chorus]
End of the street
Horizons retreat
You, you ran with it
I wish I could
Sleep is not sleep
My eyes repeat
You take the voltage
That watches you weep
[Verse 4]
You caught the voice
I listen close
All that I heard was the echoes
[Outro]
Praise emptiness
Her rose-colored dress
Her circling motions
Praise emptiness
Everything scattered
Nothing was missed
We took our house in the fire
