lyrics

i was sick of angst and of solitude
so i decided to get away
first to canada and then to michigan
got it into my head that i would head out your way

woke up with my head pounding on my side
in the back of a van
i have the same dreams every night that i sleep
there's a hole in my head
the knife's in your head

and this you would ask of me
on today of all holy days
and i will keep my promises
if you keep this covenant safe
with you there is nothing left in this world
to fear but lack of faith

you say i'm sorry, i've no self-control
well that's just how this thing works
try and kill a few hours singing songs that you know
it's not a great way to live
but it could be worse

[chorus]

i heard a voice in the fire
it said to me
i heard a voice in the fire
it said to me
be brave

i've been sick for most of my life
which makes it harder to say what i mean
the truth is i could sleep anywhere
but with you i have such wonderful dreams

and this you would ask of me
on today of all holy days
and i will keep my promises
if you keep this covenant safe
with you there is nothing left in this world
to fear but lack of faith
