Embers

oh lord there's a ghost train running through my head,
 everynight i hear it serenade the sunset,
 oh lord there's a deep blue ocean in my dreams,
 calling to me from behind the veil of sleep.
 i'm afraid i've lost my way,
 afraid i've lost may way,
 i set out like a scout,
 but i've run out.
 oh lord there's a beach tree where i find my shade,
 i remember breaking down beneath its sway,
 oh lord there's a cascade mountain in my dreams,
 calling to me behind the fog of sleep.
 and it's always out of reach,
 it's always out of reach,
 i set out like a scout,
 but i've run out.
 father mother i burn so true,
 my blaze is brighter when near to you,
 i smoke and spark without your fuel,
 an ember from the heart of you.
 sisters brothers i burn for you,
 i light the night searching for you,
 i signal the sky for you,
 an ember from the heart of you.
 an ember from the heart of you,
 an ember from the heart of you.
