An empty house, the roof's on fire
You're fighting with the flames
My memories and my desires run
Like the water through the hose
And I wonder why this dream won't fade
This constant blue of the darkest shade
Weighs heavy on your troubled mind
And I call your name, but I can't get through
And it's hard on me when it's hard on you
Oh dear, love, if only I could find
A way to ease your troubled mind
I'm looking for remains among the ruins
The dust has settled on your eyes
From the outside, those ghosts
They aren't really there at all
But I can't seem to stop them
From throwing shadows on your wall
If I knew how
I'd calm your nights
And soothe your soul
And I'd clear your sight
Oh, I would fix you
I'd put things back in place
And wave goodbye to nightlong days
Oh, I wonder why this dream won't fade
This constant blue of the darkest shade
Weighs heavy on your troubled mind
And I call your name, but I can't get through
When it's hard on me, then it's hard on you
Oh dear, love, if only I could find
A way to ease your troubled mind
Your mind
