This fire
Come back to me
From that vague memory
Those hazy retreats
With singing and sweets
The word in my hand
From memory, bland
I can't imbibe so much as a word
Oh pleasantry
Come back to me
Plunge me deep beneath the river
Fond behemoth, make me shiver!
Hold me down... Hold me under
Hark! The curtain torn asunder
The darkness is spread
I lie in my bed
I can't imbibe so much as a word
I've children who yearn
To learn and to learn
But what have I here?
Doubt and great fear
What will this fire do
If I try to paint it true?
Will it burn them, burn them up
If they choose to drink this cup
?
