Lyrics
A huge fire was burning
And her eyes grew strangely bright
She turned around in her room
What could she take and still survive the fire
But then again, there was a window
You know it’s an illusion
There is no fire burning just a soul crying
So cry for me take a little time and then stop
It’s just something that you cannot see so stop
She swings around on the second story
I’ll get down she says
Well there is no fire burning just a soul crying
I will you know
So I take it to the limit
I will you know as I always have
I understand your position
I withdraw my decision
Well I’ve got no more information for you
So still there is a fire that no one sees
She doesn’t even see it either
Or so everyone thinks
But then again, there was a window
You know it’s an illusion
There is no fire burning just a soul crying
There’s no fire
There is no fire
Well there’s no fire burning just a soul crying
It’s just a soul crying
