Fire and Roses - Mimi Goese

Hold

Tight

If I had only known

It could rain

Inside

Keel over

Take a stand trying

To keep my head

On my

Shoulders

Over flow

Under tow trying

To keep my head above

Water

Believe me I'm a fighter 'til the end look into

My eyes

It's all on fire my life needs fire

I want roses

Strewn at my feet

Moving in

Moving out the current pulls me

Stay buoyant

I tumble

Doing deep sea cartwheels

Outside it's dark

I catch my breath

And scream

Scream

It's all on fire my life needs fire

I want

Roses

Strewn at my feet

It's all on fire my life needs fire

I want

Roses

Strewn at my feet

Soundlessly

I fade away

I sail I float far away

A thousand clues and second thoughts

Lie deep in the belly of my heart

If I listen so close

It's all on fire my life needs fire I want

Roses

Meanwhile I float on the sea sea yeah sea

Moving in moving out

Outside it's dark again

Still I realize what a fine

Line you walk along

Tight roping between sink

Or swim or fall or stand

I sit here

I stare and still

I see

It's

Raining

Hard to say hard to see

Hard to know hard to tell

It's raining

Hard to know hard to tell

It's raining

Hard to know

Hard to tell

It's raining

It's raining
