Fires of spring

Chris Rea · Whatever Happened To Benny Santini? [1978]

She's back real late yet she don't seem to care

She hangs around outside in late night air

Burning tears upon a smiling face

And she's caught in the fires of spring



The ice of loneliness you've known so long

For good or not seems to have been and gone

Your Phoenix flies you high on crazy wings

And you're caught in the fires of spring



When all that you do has faded from view

and I tell you it don't mean a thing

oh you're burned and I'm blind

and you're caught in the fires of spring



You've been before but never been so fast

Your only hope is that it's gonna last

You know the pain and yet you love it's sting

And you're caught in the fires of spring
