Sometimes she laughs so hard she cries Sometimes she's darkness, other times she's light Finds a warmth in my soul dear, with an icy stare With the touch in her hand and the sound of a prayer And when I think it's all over she finds a place to begin Out above these ruins, time and time again She knows the face of perfection carries mistake in its heart And that's the weight of the flame of her love in the dark When I sink from the sadness I see along the way And start living tomorrow instead of living today She walk me past reflection in the murky pool To where the water runs deep and love's the only rule And when I'm caught in the crossfire, head goner than gone Can't see standing still's the only way to move on She turns the lamp down low and lights the way with a spark That's the weight of the flame of her love in the dark
