Darling
I'm getting kind of tired
Of being a lover
Under fire

And darling
Things will never get brighter
If I remain
Under fire

And I
Am on my way
Will you help
To keep my heart alive?

Give me silence
And give me time
Give me a good thought
To fix my mind

I could be there
On your death bed
To pass you over
When you are older
To burn your body
But I cannot remain
A lover under fire

And I
I wanna honor my name
Because time
Is an endless highway

And life
Daring, it just ain't
Would you lighten the silence
In the dark that awaits?

I could be there
On your death bed
To pass you over
When you are older
To burn your body

I could pledge my allegiance
To your heart and your blood
But I cannot remain
A lover under fire

I wanna die singing your favorite song
In an old abandoned church with the lights turned off
Smoking cigarettes 'til the fire starts
'Til there's nothing but a burnt cross and broken hearts

I wanna live in the shadows with him
Make him do the to things I might have done
Till you, can't get away from my kind of sin
There's nothing left to burn and nowhere to run

I could be there
On your death bed
To pass you over
When you are older
To burn your body

I could pledge my allegiance
To your heart and your blood
But I cannot remain

A lover under fire
A lover under fire
A lover under fire
A lover under fire
