Burn To Shine - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals

We made love until we cried

And cried ourselves to laughter

Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck were fear

How in just a moments time

Could one see for ever after

I gently lie beside of you

And dream away with my tears

Won’t you let me treat you kind

We’re gonna burn to shine

Won’t you let me treat you kind

We’re gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama

Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills

Funny things you learn from your papa

Like when you’re talking you just can’t keep your hands still

But that was now and this is then

It never lasts for long

How I miss the good old days but I’m so glad they’re gone

Won’t you let me treat you kind

We’re gonna burn to shine

Won’t you let me treat you kind

We’re gonna burn to shine

I’d like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me So you could help me out with my dependancy

'Cause I’m hoplessly

Addicted addicted to your sorrow

Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow
