Lyrics

TINDERBOX
©2017 by Paul Felton

We thought it would be easy
Almost child’s play
This love is so enriching
What could block our way

Clarity by light of day
Confusion by the night
Maybe we became too close
Squeezed a bit too tight

Too crowded for our demons
Itching for a fight

As they duke it out ferociously

Completely out of sight

Our love is a tinderbox
Explosive subtle games
All the tools required for us

To go up in flames
Jagged shards of flint
Dry, brittle shavings
Sulfur-tipped matches trigger
Fire from our ravings

Our passions running higher
The dry heat increasing
Unrelenting friction

And it all could be releasing

The hot wind is swirling
We both know what’s at stake

Upheaval spins a nightmare
How can we awake?

What we need is our tears

to dampen all the fuel
Prevent a spark that flashes

And reduces us to ashes
Clouds rolling in
Patience wearing thin
Let it rain, let it pour

That is what the water’s for

Let it rain… Let it pour… That is what the water’s for (4x)
