She Burns Lyrics - The Wild Swan - Foy Vance

She is a little explosion of hope 

Never turns the lights down low 

She can go there if you wanna though 

There are no markings on her country roads 

No signs that show the way back home 

When you get there you won't wanna go 

I've frozen all my desire 

Covered up in virgin snow 

But when I stand beside her 

She burns yeah she burns 

Like petrol soaked paper and fireworks 

And I'm burning yeah I'm burning 

I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go 

She likes to lay under the covers though 

Pretending everywhere's our home 

Keeps me warm right to my very soul 

We get so tangled up its hard to know 

What is hers and what's my own 

Vines at the bottom of an olive grove 

I've frozen all my desire 

Covered up in virgin snow 

But when I stand beside her 

She burns yeah she burns 

Like petrol soaked paper and fireworks 

And I'm burning yeah I'm burning 

I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go 

I've frozen all my desire 

Covered up in virgin snow 

But when I stand beside her 

She burns yeah she burns 

Like petrol soaked paper and fireworks 

And I'm burning yeah I'm burning 

I'm burning so deep that just breathing hurts 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go 

I'm melting darling, I can't let go
