story behind the song: blending of some stories overheard recently. i suppose i could relate (as i wrote this). blame it on the muse
Lyrics
they say we are all dying
a little more each day
from the moment of our birth
'til we finally go away
i know i've been annoying
you grew tired of my tales
as the sun sinks to the earth
and the fire sails
i still love the sunset
reminds me of you still
a hint of where is heaven
that final act of will
i know i'm not perfect
you're tired of my fails
as that falling star descends
and the fire sails
but i'd like to see you
if you wouldn't mind
name some dates, name the place
i'll be there in time
i still see it in your eyes
in photos i have seen
you can hear it in my sighs
rekindled in my dreams
i wish there was an ember
or a spark that i could mail
some flare you would remember
before the fire sails
and i'd like to see you
if you wouldn't mind
name the date, name the place
i'll be there on time
and i'd like to see you
if you can spare the time
somewhen soon, no where special
some place you like to dine
and i'd like to see you
before the world grows too stale
before the sun sets forever
and the fire sails
and the fire sails
