The Spirit in the Flame

[Verse 1]
I had a little luck, but I threw it all away
I followed every crumb you left along the way
No matter how I'd scream I couldn’t wake the dead
So I sing it to the night and to the moonlight instead

[Chorus]
It's dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I’m still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la

[Verse 2]
A wilderness of sea, a bottle full of rain
A dream within a dream, no part of it unnamed
And though I find it hard and though I dare not speak
You wipe the tears and touch your hand upon my cheek

[Chorus]
It's dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la

It's too dark now, I can't go back nor carry on all the same
I loved you and that's a fact now I'm on my own again
I wanted it all so real, I can’t wait for it to unfold
I just want to know how it feels, don’t leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out in the cold

[Chorus]
It’s dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
It's dark beyond the stars, it’s cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la
