THE ballad.

lyrics

Close To The Flame
words & music Michael Veitch
(c)2014 Burt Street Music (BMI)


I'm here to confess
Some years were just a mess
Crawling through the dark
With a knife in my chest
Prayed it all would work out
We would make it through the fallout
Like butterflies, leaving behind stains on the page
Flying too close to the flame

I'm here to confess
Some good stuff it got missed
Falling from the rafters
We all have to serve
More than one master
And there's always the muse
She's never too far from the tears
And the laughter and the rain
Flying too close to the flame

Bring your light to my heart
Shine your light through this dark
Beam the light from your star
Here's my heart

I'm here to confess
We all tried our best
To hold back the night
And light up the rest
And I may have been silent
And I may have been absent
You were never far
From where I hold on when it rains
Flying too close to the flame
