When the fire burns out here It's brighter than the city lights Warmer than a heart of gold And dingoes howl just to break the silence The sun comes up just to break the cold Last night I woke With the stars looking back at me Swallowing the sky I felt no anger,I felt no shame I felt no reason to cry
If I'm not here in the morning Yeah, I'll cry a river of tears And I'll learn to live in a new town But my heart is staying here
Well it's quiet out here A hundred miles away You can hear the train on the line The whistle blows just to break the silence I wave just to break the time I close my eyes I think of runnin' water I think of runnin' away But the fire is burnt to ashes And it's darker than before But I can see as clear as day
If I'm not here in the morning Yeah, I'll cry a river of tears And I'll learn to live in a new town But my heart is staying here
I'll learn to live in a new town But my heart is staying here
