Lyrics

Kiss The Flame
      by Jewel Kilcher 10/97

Please love, lets make no impartial vow
Let it all fall away
That's not crucial now
I want a brave love
One that makes me weak in the knees
I want a crazy,crazy lover
One that makes me come undone at  the seams

I'm tired of all these pilgrims
These Puritans, these thieves
Of all the unbelievers
Who belittle all that I believe
Let these swift roads destroy themselves
Let the world fall into its sleep
For we shall be spared
We shall be left standing
To face the concrete & honey

Kiss the flame
Lets embrace the faceless, the un-named
Kiss the flame
Lets run with the hope of the untamed
Kiss the flame

There are nightmares on the sidewalk
There are jokes on TV
They are confusing volume with power
Everybody's shouting at me
Oh where for art thou, Romeo?
Where've all the brave men gone?
Show me one man who can in silence
With him I will belong

Kiss the flame
Lets embrace the faceless, the un-named
Kiss the flame
Lets run with the hope of the untamed
Kiss the flame
