Bonfires Lyrics

There's just one thing before I go
You are the sweetest boy I know
I've lived my whole life in the past
But I awoke last night at last
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e102472-rickie_lee_jones~bonfires_lyrics.html ]
I thought I'd finally won your heart
And that forever never part
And in sweet love we would grow old
Now I'm just a scavenger in the cold
I'm just a scavenger
All I can do is wish you well
And light the Bonfires of hell
Honey, you hurt me bad this time
I'm burning everything I find

You hurt me bad this time
You nearly tore me from my mind
Before I knew I had been hurt
She laid her hair across your shirt

All I can do is wish you well
And light the Bonfires of hell
There's just one thing before I go
You are the sweetest boy I know

If there's a sun, I'll watch it rise
To dry the tears out of my eyes
If there's a river, you can bet
There'll be a sea for my heart yet.
