I remember the night it went up in smoke
I was singing a song of forgiveness
And how even love doesn’t cover all sins
When a heart has been robbed of fulfilment

I remember the light that shone through the glass
And the magic I felt in the music
They couldn’t believe the things I saw
But I had the vision to prove it

A touch on my skin
A burning in
Standing, surrounded, aflame
All of the passion of the girl I had been
Returned to the woman I became
A light in my heart
Another start
Remembering I never caved
I saw the magic in the air
Even then, even there
Unsaved

I remember the day it crumbled and fell
I was thinking about resurrection
And how I knew I could never go home
Where the bodies were only reflections

A touch on my skin
A breathing in
Falling without any sound
All the compassion for the girl I had been
Returned to the keeping of the ground
A hole in the sky
Another try
Remembering more than a grave
I saw the magic in despair
Even then, even there
Unsaved

The apples were ripe for the taking
And I was a world in the making
They couldn’t believe the things I knew
I didn’t expect them to

A touch on my skin
A sinking in
Standing but never the same
All of the passion from the girl I had been
Returned to the woman I became
A lump in my throat
Another coat
Remembering how to be brave
I saw the magic everywhere
Even then, even there
Unsaved

I remember the night it went up in smoke
I was singing a song of forgiveness
