about

This song tells the story of a young woman faced with fire and the sentiments of her spirit guide.

lyrics

Don't look in the fire too long,
Or else you might see him,
He will sing you his sad song,
You won't resist it.

Don't play with fire my dear,
I've always told you,
Seems like you never learn,

He'll come for you.

Don't give him a name my darling,
He won't let go of you,
If he should stay my darling,
He will take hold of you.

If only,
(playing with fire)

You could see what I see,(you could see what),
(playing with fire)

If only you could see what I see,
(playing with fire)
If only ,You could see what I,
(playing with fire)

See.
