(Kasey Chambers)



When the fire burns out here

It's brighter than the city lights

Warmer than a heart of gold

And dingoes howl just to break the silence

The sun comes up just to break the cold

Last night I woke

With the stars looking back at me

Swallowing the sky

I felt no anger, I felt no shame

I felt no reason to cry



If I'm not here in the morning

Yeah, I'll cry a river of tears

And I'll learn to live in a new town

But my heart is staying here



Well it's quiet out here

A hundred miles away

You can hear the train on the line

The whistle blows just to break the silence

I wave just to break the time

I close my eyes

I think of runnin' water

I think of runnin' away

But the fire is burnt to ashes

And it's darker than before

But I can see as clear as day



If I'm not here in the morning

Yeah, I'll cry a river of tears

And I'll learn to live in a new town

But my heart is staying here



I'll learn to live in a new town

But my heart is staying here
