Trail of Fire lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I ran the trail of fire
Through the meadow paths
Guided by the riverbanks
And trees from which they’ll have me hanged
Keep running away from the fire
Keep running away from the light
‘Til it’s gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Are all our summers
At one with the ground?
And everything I loved you for
A trail of fire from the door
That leads to a hiding place
Locking me inside

[Bridge]
And I’ll hold this blade of grass, I’ll hold ‘til eventide
The dark that shrouds your loving neighbor, he’s the one who lit the paper
While the reason’s unexpressed and the sources undetermined
The innocent are voiceless, the voiceless are innocent
sh*t, I got a little match, dig a hole and throw me in
Say a prayer to my loving savior, he’s the one who lit the paper
Say a prayer to my loving savior, he’s the one who lit the paper
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
From them, I strip the title
Extinguish and misuse
And all our engraved memories
Are unsuccessful remedies
I’m sick of papering the cracks
And extinguishing the fire tracks

[Bridge]
Though flawed by design
I am torn from the strife
That did pile at the door
But is feared no more

Though I once wedded her
And her want was to play
As another’s arms held
Took her wanting away

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Questions on top of questions
Don’t think that answers are even here
It is too late for me
It is too late for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Unsung, untied, unalive
Unsung, untied, unalive
Unsung, untied, unalive
Unsung, untied, unalive

[Instrumental Outro]
