Come with me To the bright white flame That you knew by name And you will again Take my hand We're getting out of here No more time for tears For the wasted years No more crumble in the night No more tears on an empty pillow Voices out of sight cryin' hard - runnin' scared No more tears in the gloom No more gurus that I just can't follow Older than a heart beat Older than the sun If I die before I go this is the way Older than a heartbeat Older than the sun And hands How she loved those hands Now she could not stand To be near that man So she turned To the bright white flame That she knew by name Now there'd be no pain I am the river that goes on and one On into the sea It carries you away
