Bonfires - Rickie Lee Jones

There’s just one thing before I go

You are the sweetest boy I know

I’ve lived my whole life in the past

I awoke last night at last

I thought I’d finally won your heart that forever never part

And in sweet love we would grow old

Now I’m just a scavenger in the cold

I’m just a scavenger

All I can do is wish you well

And light the bonfires of hell

Honey, you hurt me bad this time

I’m burning everything I find

You hurt me bad this time

You nearly tore me from my mind

Before I knew I had been hurt

She laid her hair across your shirt

She laid her hair

All I can do is wish you well

And light the bonfires of hell

There’s just one thing before I go

You are the sweetest boy I know

You are the sweetest boy

If there’s a sun I’ll watch it rise

To dry the tears out of my eyes

If there’s a river you can bet

There’ll be a sea from my heart yet

There’ll be a sea from my heart yet
