Lyrics
Charlie McCorry - Emily Hickey
Fire lights up his eyes with every calling flame
The moon is rising showing him the plain
The stillness of the world puts his thoughts in relief
Casts up all his feelings on a movie screen
Tracks all day but stays in range some miles from home
Breathing full his muscles wide awake
Things get more abstract the farther out he goes
His thoughts contract and settle on an older face
He sees it in his head, then it flickers away
He?s gone?
He?s not the type to look through his old photographs
Carries on and works straight through the day
I?d like to ask what his dream meant to him
I?d rather see him smiling in his sleep again
I hear the echoes spreading out across the bay
See him with the fire lighting up his face
He?s mine?
