I just need a small stone room.
And of course it must be dark.
I’d spend an idle moment.
But I could use your willing heart.
I just need to tap the walls.
And I’ll need my breathing space.
I’d huddle in the corner.
But I’d like to touch your face.
Oh, I just want you back again, my dreams have gone to dusk
When you went out – the light went out – and my eyes are draining rust.
Please bring back the spark…cause I can’t fly alone.
Oh, I can’t live without you…the fire in the stone.
I just need to clear my head.
And I’ll remember what’s inside.
I’d smile in the shadow.
But I want to hear you cry.
I just need an offering.
And I’ll need to shiver too.
I’d listen with my mind
But you have to say I do.
Oh, I just want you back again, my days have turned to night
When you went out – the light went out – and I’m not leaning right.
Please bring back the spark…cause I can’t fly alone.
Oh, I can’t live without you…the fire in the stone.
I just need to get you back.
And make it like before.
I’d put you on a pedestal.
But I wouldn’t let you fall.
I just need a small stone room.
And then I could atone.
I’d give you all of everything.
But please…the fire in the stone!
Oh, I just want you back again, the stone is oh so cold
When you went out – the light went out – and…oh so cold.
Please bring back the spark…cause I can’t fly alone.
Oh, I can’t live without you…the fire in the stone.
Fire in the Stone
Let’s just say that via various twists and turns and loose interpretations, it’s a strangely inspired song. LINK
