Lyrics
That I can blame ice for freezing my fire I don't suppose That I can blame night for eclipsing my day I don't suppose That I'm frozen dark and flat and barren Frozen dark and flat and barren I , I, I wont deny That I can blame wind for eroding my mountain I don't suppose That I can blame worms for eating my leaves I don't suppose That I'm frozen dark and flat and barren Frozen dark and flat and barren I, I, I can't deny That I can ignite a sudden spark That I can light up the dark That I can spout lava flowing That I can sprout a new leaf growing I, I, I can only hope I can only hope I can only hope Words and Music (c) 1989, 2024 by Jack Morris
