Lyrics

You are not permanent
But you are here
You are not everlasting
And you haven’t begun to stoke the fires
There is a flicker of light
Where only the bravest burn so bright

People will sit there jealous and cold
Safe in the shaded meadow
And they will shoot you down with bow and arrow
They see you clearly in their sights
Where only the bravest burn so bright

Standing on a corner in a hurricane
Reaching out for something and catching only rain
There on the corner is where you’ll hear me say
That only the bravest burn so bright

Your head is full of doubts and fears
I know that she is winning
And you don’t have to be reduced to begging
Even devoted dogs will bite
And only the bravest burn so bright

Standing on a corner in a hurricane
Reaching out for something and catching only rain
There on the corner is where you’ll hear me say
That only the bravest burn so bright

Where do you wanna go?
East, or west?
Which direction is pulling?
And I will be right behind you if you lose your footing
Don’t need a torch to ward off the night
Where only the bravest burn so bright
Yeah only the bravest burn so bright
