Whispers like gunshots in the air She shivers in the wind The last leaf of a dying tree The hour approaching midnight We're taking flight Our hands against the cold Breaking barriers Made in the olden days And the tips of our fingers Growing numb with the night The railing's too much to use So we won't use our hands With our balance thrown off We climb up the stairs Up to where we found a home In the woods off near the pond It's so hard to know This is the last time You'll see me this year It's so hard to know You were my favorite this year Baby, the fire... Baby, the fire... BABY THE FIRE! BABY THE FIRE! It will burn us both 'Cause our fire, baby There's no place for it in the world Our fire, baby There's no place for it in the world It'll always be ours... Always and never... Whispers like gunshots in the air She shivers in the wind The last leaf of a dying tree Whispers like gunshots in the air She shivers in the wind The last leaf of a dying tree She shivers in the wind Baby, the fire... Baby, the fire... BABY THE FIRE! (It will always be ours) BABY THE FIRE! It will burn us both 'Cause our fire, baby There's no place for it in the world Our fire, baby There's no place for it in the world
