J. P. Cormier - Light the Fire Again lyrics

Once upon a time is a time I once remembered When the world was full of flowers and the songbirds knew her name Life was but a dream to a sleeper never waking But my eyes were open when the morning came And we can never know the reason why The one we love no longer writes our name up in the sky But as those dying embers drift away upon the wind We damn the rain and light the fire again Promises are highways unforgiving with their endings And your shadow falls before you like the dream you left behind You'll know she is forgotten when your heart has stopped its beating And you wish the eyes of memory were blind And we can never know the reasons why The one we love no longer writes our name up in the sky But as those dying embers drift away upon the wind We damn the rain and light the fire again Hearts will ask the question even though they know the answer But the truth is like a whisper in your ear: you cannot stay And you know you should tread lightly lest you wake that sleeping dragon And the walls around your heart be burned away And we can never know the reasons why The one we love no longer writes our name up in the sky But as those dying embers drift away upon the wind We damn the rain and light the fire again And as these dying embers drift away upon the wind I'll damn the rain and light the fire again
