True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree Willow dancing on air before covering me Under garden and calicos Over canopies that was long ago True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree Must be felt 'fore the fight that calls Threatened fire but that was long ago And it's not tonight (Ooh) When I'm set alight (Ooh) I'm blinking so (Ooh) Your blinding light (Ooh) Oh, let's not tonight (Ooh) When you hold me tight (Ooh) Light the fire bright (Ooh) Let it blaze alright (Ooh) Oh, hope that you're good to me Oh you're good to me Hope that you're good to me, baby With the roar of the fire my heart goes to its feet Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in the heat Sitting soft in this purest snow Fell in love with the fire long ago Each love I could lose I was never the same Watch it's still living roots be consumed by the flames I was fixed on your hand of gold Laying waste to my loving long ago And it's not tonight (Ooh) When I'm set alight (Ooh) I'm blinking so (Ooh) Your blinding light (Ooh) Oh, let's not tonight (Ooh) When you hold me tight (Ooh) Light the fire bright (Ooh) Let it blaze alright (Ooh) Oh, hope that you're good to me Oh you're good to me Hope that you're good to me, baby So you know there I stood As you licked off the grain Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame Long as ember, November glows All the wood that I'd loved is long ago And it's not tonight (Ooh) When I'm set alight (Ooh) I'm blinking so (Ooh) Your blinding light (Ooh) Oh, let's not tonight (Ooh) When you hold me tight (Ooh) Light the fire bright (Ooh) Let it blaze alright (Ooh) Oh you're good to me Hope you're good to me Hope that you're good to me, Oh Oh Hope you're good to me Hope you're good to me Hope that you're good to me, baby
