With the fire from the fireworks up above me With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand You run for cover in the Temple of Love You run for another but still the same For the wind will blow my name across this land In the Temple of Love you hide together Believing pain and fear outside But someone near you rides the weather And the tears he cried will rain on walls As wide as lover’s eyes ---

Every time I think that I’m the only one who’s lonely Someone calls on me. And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me.
