Volcanoes

about

A Slightly More Significant Love Song. This one to be sung with a brave smile of fortitude.

lyrics

Volcanoes burn slow and burn deep
They don’t dream and don’t sleep like pain
In the centre are all the things you thought you’d slain.

Volcanoes glow red and glow hard
Seem to block out the stars above
In the centre is a melting core of heat like love.

What am I to do
Every time I think I’m through with you
My heart wakes
And all my dreams turn back to you.

My heart’s a climber with no safety rope
No help except hope and fear
Love’s a mountain and there’s danger always near.

What am I to do …

Volcanoes stand across my path
There’s no way to pass but climb
There’s hidden treasure beneath the lava flow of time.

What am I to do …
