An empty house, the roof's on fire You're fighting with the flames My memories and my desires run Like the water through the hose And I wonder why this dream won't fade This constant blue of the darkest shade Weighs heavy on your troubled mind And I call your name, but I can't get through And it's hard on me when it's hard on you Oh dear, love, if only I could find A way to ease your troubled mind I'm looking for remains among the ruins The dust has settled on your eyes From the outside, those ghosts They aren't really there at all But I can't seem to stop them From throwing shadows on your wall If I knew how I'd calm your nights And soothe your soul And I'd clear your sight Oh, I would fix you I'd put things back in place And wave goodbye to nightlong days Oh, I wonder why this dream won't fade This constant blue of the darkest shade Weighs heavy on your troubled mind And I call your name, but I can't get through When it's hard on me, then it's hard on you Oh dear, love, if only I could find A way to ease your troubled mind Your mind
