Verse 1
A day may never know
What you said or how you poured it all on me
When I longed for you
I only breathed for you
I thought I knew you well

Verse 2
A night may never find
What we did or how you poured yourself on me
When I lived for you
For every part of you
Your summer melts the sun, love

Chorus 1
I chased your fire's song
I breathed your love too long
Now I feed the flames of your scorched earth

Verse 3
My heart may never know
Why you bared your soul or pledged yourself to me
When I lived for you
Until I bled for you
I thought I knew you well

Verse 4
Your hands will never dry
The tears you cry when you're alone in the moonlight
While I wait for you
To God I pray for you
Beyond your final storm, love

Chorus 2
I chased your fire's song
(every day I lived for you)
I breathed your love too long
(every second adored you)
Now I feed the flames of your scorched earth

Bridge
Is mine blind faith
Is love a sin by any other name to you
Will your darkness claim me
Please hold me in your heart forever
(repeat chorus 2 through fade)

Good song Joseph! Your writing and singing style remind me a lot of the BeeGee's. The mix is pretty good - a bit of sibilence on the esses, and the vocals could come up a little, but the rest is good for me.

Thanks, brother! Yes, my wife told me to get a mic shield to cut the esses. Will do.

Cheers,
