Would That I

True that I saw her hair like the branch of a treeWillow dancin' on air before covering meUnder garden and calicosOver canopy dabbled long agoTrue that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of meThat the sound of the saw must be known by the treeMust be felt 'fore the fight, the callFriendly fire, but that was long agoBut that's not tonight (Oh, oh)When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)And I blink inside (Oh, oh)Your blinding light (Oh, oh)Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)All the fire bright (Oh, oh)Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feetLike the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heatFeel it soft and as pure as snowFell in love with the fire long agoWith each love I could lose, I was never the sameWatch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flameI was fixed on your hand of goldLay in waste of my lovin' long agoBut that's not tonight (Oh, oh)When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)And I blink inside (Oh, oh)Your blinding light (Oh, oh)Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)All the fire bright (Oh, oh)Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grainThough I've handled the wood, I still worship the flameLong as amber of ember glowsAll the wood that I'd loved is long agoAnd that's not tonight (Oh, oh)When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)And I blink inside (Oh, oh)Oh, your blinding light (Oh, oh)Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)All the fire bright (Oh, oh)Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
