Between Two Fires - Ben Watt

I drove for fifty miles and then got lost

A blanket on the field of unbroken frost

These are the days that I cannot postpone

As my heart gets used to being on its own

Sometimes love can last a lifetime

Other times it tires

I can not blame you now it’s gone

We were caught between two fires

Grey and amber, violet and blue

My future and my past converged in you

I dream I see your shape go past my door

Attachment shifts with age, stays as before

Sometimes the heart has no idea

Of what it thinks that it requires

But I can not blame you now it’s gone

We were caught between two fires

Everyone has limits from the start

Finding what they are is the tricky part

Sometimes love can last a lifetime

Other times it tires

I can not blame you now it’s gone

We were caught between two fires

Caught between two fires

Of what the heart desires
