Fire In The Winter

On her knees
A little girl, on her own
Scarred for life
Trauma stricken, so alone
Cryin' in disbelief
Misery 'n' endless grief
All the tears she cries
I see confusion in her eyes

There will be no tomorrow
Only pain and sorrow
She cries out for comfort
She needs Fire
Fire in the Winter

A requiem played
Beside a shallow grave
Scraped in sand
She doesn't understand
Vanishing memories
Of things one said
A silent scream
Inside her head

Roses for the dead
Salty taste of tears
She cries, but she tries
To hold her head up high
Her soul a battlefield
Can't you see
She can't find the world
That ought to be
