Ballet in the Fire
Here in my spot
No-one else can see
The flames of the fire
Perform just for me
From yellow to orange
As the fire burns
The flames are dancers
Who twist and turn
Who bend and stretch
Leap and wave
The flames are dancers
On a fireside stage
Here in my spot
No-one knows but me
The ballet in the fire
Only I can see.
No-one else can see
The flames of the fire
Perform just for me
From yellow to orange
As the fire burns
The flames are dancers
Who twist and turn
Who bend and stretch
Leap and wave
The flames are dancers
On a fireside stage
Here in my spot
No-one knows but me
The ballet in the fire
Only I can see.
