Lyrics
0:19True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
0:22A willow dancing on air before covering me
0:26Under cotton and calicoes
0:30Over canopy dappled long ago
0:37True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
0:41That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
0:45Must be felled for to fight the cold
0:48Fretted fire but that was long ago
0:59It's not tonight
1:01Oh oh
1:03Where I'm set alight
1:04Oh oh
1:06And I blink in sight
1:08Oh oh
1:10Of your blinding light
1:12Oh oh
1:13Oh it's not tonight
1:15Oh oh
1:17Where you hold me tight
1:19Oh oh
1:21And the fire bright
1:23Oh oh
1:24Oh let it blaze alright
1:27Oh oh
1:28Oh but you're good to me oh you're good to me
1:31Oh oh
1:32Oh but that you're good to me baby
1:35Oh oh
1:49With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet
1:53Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
1:56Settled soft and as pure as snow
2:00I fell in love with the fire long ago
2:07With each love I cut loose I was never the same
2:11Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
2:15I was fixed on your hand of gold
2:18Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago
2:29But that's not tonight
2:30Oh oh
2:33Where I'm set alight
2:34Oh oh
2:36And I blink in sight
2:38Oh oh
2:40Of your blinding light
2:42Oh oh
2:44And it's not tonight
2:45Oh oh
2:47Where you hold me tight
2:49Oh oh
2:51And the fire bright
2:52Oh oh
2:54Oh let it blaze alright honey
2:58Oh oh
2:58Oh but you're good to me oh you're good to me
3:02Oh oh
3:02Oh but you're good to me baby
3:11So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
3:15Though I've handled the wood I still worship the flame
3:19As long as amber of ember glows
3:22All the would that I'd loved is long ago
3:30And it's not tonight
3:31Oh oh
3:33Where I'm set alight
3:35Oh oh
3:37And I blink in sight
3:38Oh oh
3:40Of your blinding light
3:43Oh oh
3:44Oh it's not tonight
3:46Oh oh
3:48Where you hold me tight
3:49Oh oh
3:52And the fire bright
3:53Oh oh
3:55Oh let it blaze alright
3:58Oh oh
3:59Oh you're good to me oh you're good to me
4:02Oh oh
4:03Oh but you're good to me
4:04Oh oh
4:06Oh oh you're good to me you're good to me
4:10Oh oh
4:10Oh but you're good to me baby
