True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancin´ on air before covering me
Under garden and calicos
Over canopy dabbled long ago

True that love in withdrawal was the weepin´ of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felt ´fore the fight, the call
Friendly fire, but that was long ago

But that´s not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I´m set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that´s not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Oh, hope that you´re good to me, oh, you´re good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you´re good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet
Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
Fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I could lose, I was never the same
Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Lay in waste of my lovin´ long ago

But that´s not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I´m set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that´s not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)

All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
Oh, hope that you´re good to me, oh, you´re good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you´re good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

So in awe there 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 wood that I´d loved is long ago

And that´s not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I´m set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Oh, your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that´s not tonight (Oh, oh)

When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Hope you´re good to me, hope you´re good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you´re good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh, you´re good to me, you´re good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you´re good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
