After I have travelled so far
We’d set the fire to the third bar
We’d share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can’t keep inI’m miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
– “Set The Fire To The Third Bar” by Snow Patrol
My favourite song on the album, especially since it features Martha Wainwright. You should listen to her solo stuff, both she and especially her brother Rufus are brilliant.
