Weight of the flame

Sometimes she laughs so hard she cries
Sometimes she's darkness, other times she's light
Finds a warmth in my soul dear, with an icy stare
With the touch in her hand and the sound of a prayer

And when I think it's all over she finds a place to begin
Out above these ruins, time and time again
She knows the face of perfection carries mistake in its heart
And that's the weight of the flame of her love in the dark

When I sink from the sadness I see along the way
And start living tomorrow instead of living today
She walk me past reflection in the murky pool
To where the water runs deep and love's the only rule

And when I'm caught in the crossfire, head goner than gone
Can't see standing still's the only way to move on
She turns the lamp down low and lights the way with a spark
That's the weight of the flame of her love in the dark
