Shake the Fire

I see you breathe in and out
I saw you sleep
Now I can't keep it together
Tears, they fall out of my control
Oh, no, no
Time to go
Oh, I know his back is weak and falling apart
And all we've learned is how it keeps on turning, oh

We can't stir the fire
We can't halt the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusion
We can't stir the fire
We can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusion

I saw your light slip through my fingers
Over and over again
It never hurt like this
Oh, I know his back is weak and falling apart
And all we've learned is how it keeps on turning, oh

We can't stir the fire
We can't halt the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusion
We can't stir the fire
We can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusion

Midst of the confusion
Midst of the confusion
(Midst of the confusion)

Oh, my love, close your eyes
Go softly into that sweet night

We can't stir the fire
We can't halt the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusion
We can't stir the fire
We can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusion

We can't stir the fire
We can't halt the rain
Running around in circles in the midst of the confusion
We can't stir the fire
We can't stop the pain
Trying to find solace in the midst of the confusion
