Some nights I'm on a long black train
Through the countryside
Some days I let a rocking horse
Take me for a ride
And I like to float alone
On the rising tide
Consume me in your fire
Don't spare me for your wife
Lay my body on your pyre
I'd rather be your life
Some nights I want to shake you up
While you're sleeping
Some days I want to wake you up
While you're weeping
And why should I re-break my heart
If you ain't leaping
Consume me in your fire
Don't spare me for your wife
Lay my body on your pyre
I'd rather be your life
Don't you understand
So spend me with abandon
Don't save me for your death
Darling use me at random
I'd rather breathe your breath
