Sick With the Old Fire Songtext
von The High Dials

I woke from a lovely dream
I was rescuing you and I from a thief
In the gold of a dying summer day
There is no such thing as now
Only what was and what will be
Where do we live with certainty?
Oh, tell me

′Cause here tonight I see the fading coals
Yeah, they go on burning for so long
On and on they glow
What kind of fire makes them strong?

Oh, sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
I still burn
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
I still burn
Oh, sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, I still burn


I was chasing a holy ghost
It brought me to some stormy coast
There to be infected with more need
Oh, oh
And then I found my way back home
And I'm swallowing pills and I′m casting stones
And I'm making believe I've got plans to get well
But it′s a hard sell

′Cause here tonight I see the distant stars
Yeah, they send their light out for so long
I'm a firefly in a jar
I can only burn here for so long

Oh, sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
I still burn
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
I still burn

Oh, oh, oh, sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
I still burn
Oh, sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire

Sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
I still burn
Oh, sick with the old fire, sick with the old fire
Sick with the old fire, I still burn
