Weight Of The Flame

Jeff Finlin


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
