By The Firelight

lyrics

You can get what you want maybe you can have it all
Oh with moves like a gypsy you put a spell on the dance floor
It's no longer a question cause we aren't learning a lesson
We're never really listening
Can we continue roll play?
No dancing in dismay
Everybody else can leave but I want you to stay

Won't you lay me down beside the red firelight?
Won't you throw your fears away?
You be the pistol I'll be the crystal
Cause I can see through what you trying to say

I want your color in a world shaded with gloom
We could be a campfire and howl at the moon
But the suns gonna rise soon
Just forget to mention love to build the tension
Lets not wonder if its right
Can we continue roll play?
No dancing in dismay
We might not have the chance on another day

Won't you lay me down beside the red firelight?
Won't you throw your fears away?
You be the pistol I'll be the crystal
Cause I can see through what you trying to say

Won’t you lay me down?
Won’t you lay me down?

Won’t you lay me down?
Won’t you lay me down?
Won't you lay me down beside the red firelight?
Won’t you lay me down?
You be the pistol I'll be the crystal
Won’t you lay me down?
