When the fire burns out here it's brighter than the city lights   Warmer than a heart of gold   And dingo's howl just to break the silence   The sun comes up just to break the cold      Last night I woke with the stars looking back at me   Swallowing the sky   I felt no anger, I felt no shame   I felt no reason to cry      If I'm not here in the morning   Yeah I'll cry a river of tears   And I'll learn to live in a new town   But my heart is staying here      When it's quiet out here a hundred miles away   You can hear the train on the line   The whistle blows just to break the silence   I wave just to break the time      I close my eyes I think of runnin' water   I think of runnin' away   But the fires burnt to ashes and it's darker than before   But I can see as clear as day      If I'm not here in the morning   Yeah I'll cry a river of tears   I'll learn to live in a new town   But my heart is staying here      Yeah I'll learn to live in a new town   But my heart is staying here
