The rusty stream of dawn completes 
The scenes where cars once crawled these streets 
A face against the moving sky 
Brings back an alien hope 
Just like they said to me 
Keep your heart inside your coat 

Well there's muddy shoes outside the door 
Is anybody home I ask once more 
A silver-plated jet comes home 
But the map leads her astray 
Just like they said to me 
Find your heart and lose your way 

A fire burns inside me 
The snow still falls in flakes 
The reins around a horse's throat 
Turn into a lake 
And people so familiar 
Their words are in my mind 
A fire burns inside me 
Dancing cool and blind 

Beside the wall the flowers grow 
And down the sticky stems I go 
Watching changing skies below 
Your arms so far away 
Just like they said to me 
Life is worth another stay
