Hands Like Houses - A Fire On A Hill lyrics

It starts with a spark, a breath and a moment of still A flicker, a glow as the oxygen spills through a delta of spindles and stone Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke And there a gift ignites, a cursive thought takes flight, and there's a dancer twisting in between the spines Give her the breather's kiss and watch her spirit lift She'll take over the stage and she'll own the night Learning how to make a name, from the words we can't keep in Learning how to strike a flame and draw a fire from nothing I don't know where to begin To make these words take shape How to nurture a flame And raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin Or begin again It's not enough sponsored links Cause outside the night is still Cold as the fog is collected on the sill Feed the house through the fire to let out the light Consumed and inspired, burned magnesium white It spills from the hearth, take the curtains, the carpet, the fuel, the insatiable fire inside We'll set fire to a hill so intense that it will be the brightest star on this side of sky Learning how to make a name, from the words we can't keep in Learning how to strike a flame, and draw a fire from nothing I don't know where to begin To make these words take shape How to nurture a flame And raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin Or begin again
