Floodwaters rising on the flatlands tonight
Been here before I guess we’ll get through again
Get your photographs and hide them all away upstairs
Then tie the shutters down against the rain
Last night I took a walk into the fire
Of a young man’s dreams
Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me
Until then I’m here
Then I looked into your eyes
And saw the years I spent in them
I was amazed to find they still show clear
Out to the edge of every chance I ever took with you
Shining in the darkest places of my fear
Stay free and throw your cares into the future
Let them all come out
Be true and pass those dreams onto someone
Before you wear them out
Come on baby, come on angel
Take a walk into the fire with me now
Come on angel, come on come on my darling
We can talk into the fire here and now
I love the warmth of summers I remember
I see you shimmering in seven veils of haze
I hear the rainfall of a lifetimes worth of autumn
Running on my shoulders like November days
Last night I took a walk into the fire
Of a young girl’s dreams
Someday soon I’ll leave that innocence behind me
Until then I’m here
Come on baby, come on angel
Take a walk into the fire with me now
Come on angel, come on come on my darling
We can talk into the fire here and now
Come on baby, come on angel
Take a walk into the fire with me now
Come on angel, come on come on my darling
