Fire and Roses - Mimi, Mimí, Mimi Goese

Hold tight If I had only known it could rain inside

Keel over take a stand trying to keep my head on my

Shoulders

Over flow under tow trying to keep my head above water

Believe me I’m a fighter til the end look into my eyes

It’s all on fire my life needs fire I want roses

Strewn at my feet

Moving in moving out the current pulls me

Stay buoyant

I tumble doing deep sea cartwheels

Outside it’s dark I catch my breath and scream scream

It’s all on fire my life needs fire I want roses

Strewn at my feet

Soundlessly, I fade away

I sail, I float far away

A thousand clues and second thoughts

Lie deep in the belly of my heart

If I listen so close

It’s all on fire my life needs fire I want roses

Meanwhile I float on the sea, sea yeah sea

Moving in, moving out

Outside it’s dark again

Still I realize what a fine line you walk along

Tight roping between sink or swim or fall or stand

I sit here I stare and still I see it’s raining

Hard to say, hard to see

Hard to know, hard to tell

It’s raining

Hard to say, hard to tell

It’s raining, it’s raining
