tonight lasts forever and so does the fire
counting the minutes until we witness time expire
burning in the flame, engulfing paper and ink
beginning the transformation toward the bottom of earth's sink
metamorphism takes place over an elapsed time of never
and the result is a lifetime of yesterdays forever
greeting us with the rise of each conforming flame: yellow to blue...
blue like the ocean that we once knew
heat penetrating and melting our thought
destroying the destiny that we once sought
dance around the fire and be the night's fly
hum with me this tune as you kiss the dark sky
and when it comes time to awake to the light
remember those tears you forgot to cry tonight
