Holly Near
Fire In the Rain
Fire in the rain, fire in the rain
You're like a fire in the rain
So unexpected, I came upon your love
You came into my life
And I had my eyes wide open
Unintending to burn, you offered your light
You offered the warmth of love
And I had to learn how to feel the heat
And not get burned
I got too close one night
With no plans for heart left open
Unintending to change, I had nothing to fear
But the music she let me hear
Like an ancient fife, had a haunting tune
And it changed my life
Sometimes I stare for hours
Like the last to leave the fire on a winter night
Sometimes I dance before you
Like a firefly who is caught in your light
Unintending to burn, you offered your light
You offered the warmth of love
And I had to learn how to feel the heat
And not get burned
I remember you
Stronger than the wind
Brighter than the moon
Faster than the night
