lyrics

oh flame
i know your grace
but when you're standing on the stage everyone thinks you know it too

and i can see their eyes shining in the dark
but you don't notice when the lights are on you

go on
lead the way
you're a shepherd to a flock and whether you like it or not
they're in the parquet

now i can see eyes shining in the dark
but you don't notice when the lights are on you
nothing more than shadows betide who
dare to stand beside you

do you do it for yourself or the stern rebuff
of intentions that are good but that ask too much
and i don't often understand but you said enough
when you said "i used to be in love, but then i grew up"

oh flame
i know your grace
they will squeeze from you your pathos til the next one comes around
they want to fix their buckets to the back of your cloud
they want to fix their buckets to the back of your cloud
i want to fix my bucket to the back of your cloud
