Sixpence None The Richer

Still Burning

_______________________



you are the burning

the flame that is turning

my smoldering ash into a bird

so stay close my brother

I couldn't stand the loss

you are the bridge of action

I need you to help me cross

I need you to help me

so when you break,

my arms will take hold of you


my hand that is breaking

is the hand that is making

all the dead things in me grow

a gift of a holy loss

this burning at the dross



why do you set out to break the one thing

the one thing that I have to give

its hard to believe that I could

that I should begin again

but I know your heart is a hand

so when I break

your arms you'll take hold of me

you know my heart is a hand that takes hold of you

I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me.
