The room was dark |
|
The moon was shining bright |
|
I held you and we kissed goodnight |
|
Then through the window |
|
That ungodly light |
|
Was I asleep were you awake |
|
Did I arrive just too late |
|
Is there something you're not saying |
|
I should know |
|
Tell me who set this church on fire |
|
Why is everything we love |
|
Burning to the ground |
|
Tell me who set this church on fire |
|
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down |
|
The saints and sinners in the stained glass |
|
They whisper to me as I pass |
|
There's nothing in this world that lasts |
|
Did someone toss a match away |
|
A careless gesture, who can say |
|
Tell me who set this church on fire |
|
Why is everything we love |
|
Burning to the ground |
|
Tell me who set this church on fire |
|
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down |
|
A shout came from the second floor |
|
And someone ran out the back door |
|
Could he have been the parish priest |
|
A worshipper trapped in the heat |
|
Or was he the one who set the flames to burn |
|
Tell me who set this church on fire |
|
Why is everything we love |
|
Burning to the ground |
|
Tell me who set this church on fire |
|
Is everything that's sacred fallin' down |
