She Holds The Fire lyrics

I see your shadow on the wall again Dancing slow in borrowed light You move like time is listening Every step a quiet fight I don't know where you came from But I feel where you've been There's a silence in your heartbeat Like a war you didn't win And I, I won't ask you why No, I, I just stay tonight She holds the fire Won't let it die Keeps it burning Deep inside Through the cold Through the night She holds the fire She holds the light Your hands are cold but steady still Like you've learned to carry storms Every scar a quiet will Every tear a different form I hear your voice in fragments Like a prayer without a name You don't beg for redemption You just walk through the flame And I, I won't turn away No, I, I'm here to stay She holds the fire Won't let it die Keeps it burning Deep inside Through the cold Through the night She holds the fire She holds the light And if the walls come crashing down And if the sky forgets your name I will stand here in the sound Of every whisper, every flame Oh, oh You don't have to hide She holds the fire Won't let it die Keeps it burning Deep inside Through the cold Through the night She holds the fire She holds the light I see your shadow fade to dawn Still burning, still holding on
