[Verse I]
True that I saw her hair like the branch of the tree
A willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicoes, over canopy dappled long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin’ of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felled for to fight the cold
Fretted fire but that was long ago
[Chorus]
But it’s not tonight ohh, Where I’m set alight ohh
And I blink in sight ohh, Of your blinding light ohh
Oh, it’s not tonight ohh, Where you hold me tight ohh
And the fire bright ohh, Oh, let it blaze alright ohh
Oh, but you’re good to me, you’re good to me
Ohh but you’re good to me baby, ohh
[Verse II]
With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to it’s feet
Like the ashes of ash, I saw rise in the heat
Settled soft and as pure as snow
I fell in love with the fire a long ago
With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Layin’ waste to my lovin’ long ago

[Chorus]
But that’s not tonight ohh, Where I’m set alight ohh
And I blink in sight ohh, Of your blinding light ohh
Oh, it’s not tonight ohh, Where you hold me tight ohh
And the fire bright ohh, Oh, let it blaze alright ohh
Oh, but you’re good to me, you’re good to me
Ohh but you’re good to me baby, ohh
[Verse III]
So in awe there I stood as licked off the grain
Though I’ve handled the wood, I still worship the flame
As long as amber of ember glows
All the ‘would’ that I’d loved is long ago
[Chorus]
And it’s not tonight ohh, Where I’m set alight ohh
And I blink in sight ohh, Of your blinding light ohh
Oh, it’s not tonight ohh, Where you hold me tight ohh
And the fire bright ohh, Oh, let it blaze alright ohh
Oh, but you’re good to me, you’re good to me
Ohh but you’re good to me baby, ohh
