[Intro]
  

[Verse 1]

True that I sa

w her hair lik

e the branch o

f a tree

Willow dancin' on air before covering me

Under cotton a

nd calicos
              
Over canopy da

               
ppled long ago

True that love

 in withdrawal

 was the weepi

n' of me

That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree

Must be felled

 for to fight 

the cold
              
Fretted fire b

            
ut that was lo

ng ago


[Chorus]
             
But that's not

            
 tonight (Oh, 

   
oh)
              
When I'm set a

            
light (Oh, oh)
              
And I blink in

           
 sight (Oh, oh


)

Of your blindi

ng light (Oh, 

oh)
             
Oh, it's not t

           
onight (Oh, oh

 
)
              
When you hold 

            
me tight (Oh, 

   
oh)
              
And the fire b

           
right (Oh, oh)

Oh, let it bla

ze alright (Oh

, oh)
             
Oh, but you're

             
 good to me, o

           
h, you're good

 to me (Oh, oh

)
            
But you're goo

          
d to me, baby 

(Oh, oh)

[Instrumental]
  

[Verse 2]

With the roar 

of the fire, m

y heart rose t

o its feet

Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat

Settled soft a

nd as pure as 

snow
              
I fell in love

              
 with the fire

        
 long ago

With each love

 I cut loose, 

I was never th

e same

Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame

I was fixed on

 your hand of 

gold
              
Layin' waste t

              
o my lovin' lo

       
ng ago


[Chorus]
             
But that's not

            
 tonight (Oh, 

   
oh)
              
I'm set alight

       
 (Oh, oh)
              
And I blink in

           
 sight (Oh, oh

  
)

Of your blindi

ng light (Oh, 

oh)
             
Oh, and it's n

            
ot tonight (Oh

     
, oh)
              
Where you hold

            
 me tight (Oh,

    
 oh)
              
And the fire b

            
right (Oh, oh)

Oh, let it bla

ze alright, ho

ney (Oh, oh)
             
Oh, but you're

            
 good to me, o

           
h, you're good

 to me (Oh, oh

)
             
Oh but you're 

            
good to me, ba

                      
by (Oh, oh)

[Verse 3]

So in awe, the

re I stood as 

you licked off

 the grain

Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame

Long as amber 

of ember glows
              
All the "would

              
" that I'd lov

            
ed is long ago


[Chorus]
             
And it's not t

           
onight (Oh, oh

 
)
              
Where I'm set 

           
alight (Oh, oh

 
)
              
And I blink in

           
 sight (Oh, oh

  
)

Of your blindi

ng light (Oh, 

oh)
             
Oh, it's not t

Where you hold

And the fire b
