lyrics

A turquoise firelight burned in the sky
we were watching the day turn to night
through the thunder and the sheets a pouring rain
somehow we both knew we'd never be the same...

I keep a lonely mind and trace of a smile
ask my broken heart to sit and stay awhile
I speak to the clouds who understand the blues
listen to the ground 'cause it always tells the truth

I don’t know, but I've been told
that the path of the heart is a dangerous road...
What treasures of the mind are too plain to see?
What shades of darkness are there hidden in the sea?

In the firelight the songs rose to the stars
as the constellations called from afar
through the thunder and those few drops of rain
somehow we all knew we'd never be the same...

I don't know, but I've been told
that the path of the heart is a dangerous road...

What treasures of the mind are just too plain to see?
what shades of darkness are there hidden in the sea?
What shades of darkness are too plain to see?
What shades of darkness are there hidden in the sea?
