Tears of Fire
"My drops of tears I'll turn to sparks of fire ."
Shakespeare :
Henry VIII , act II , scene IV
I'm
mixing alcohol
with . . .
my silver tears of fear
While . . .
I'm am
looking back
on all the agony
of my life
whose demise
is now . . .
drawing near
I dream of being Phoenix
with red plumage
and desire
To be consumed
by the tears
I have set on fire
So . . .
let me pour another drink
and
rake the coals of life
Then I'll be
setting my tears
on fire
While waiting
on new life
Song : Set Fire to the Rain
