Remember when you blew that kiss That warm sunny summer The gesture seemed so simple For a flame to burn in my valves Compelled to keep it in For fear of uncertainly I take the burns 4 years later The deep air of your breath Ignited the Fire , not " Blanketed " it That burnt down the harbour. Local people gather to collectively pick up my pieces In the soot and ash of inner harbour

The Fire that burnt our Harbour
Remember when you blew that kiss That warm sunny summer The gesture seemed so simple For a flame to burn in my valves Compelled to keep it in For fear of uncertainly I take the burns 4 years later The deep air of your breath Ignited the Fire , not " Blanketed " it That burnt down the harbour. Local people gather to collectively pick up my pieces In the soot and ash of inner harbour
