lyrics

There is a building overseas
With all the heartbreak you'd ever need
Kept in boxes, neat plaques above them all

One night the sun set on that town
And nobody was left around
A little light shone from its windows through its walls

And the spark that lit the fire
Was from my heart's desire
A bit of sunshine to wash away the dark
And the heat that fanned the flames
Was memories of the names
Written on the kindling and tinder in our hearts

When the sunlight came with dawn
All the shattered dreams were gone
Now turned to ashes and embers, rising heat

Still the tourists all went by
Tossed love letters in the pile
The fire raging as they lined up down the street

And the spark that lit the fire
Was a gift from my heart's desire
A bit of sunshine to wash away the dark
And the heat that fanned the flames
Was the memories of the names
Written on the kindling and tinder in our hearts

To all the broken hearted types
With half dried tears still in their eyes
To the all the ones who have yet to move along

There's a fire burning bright
Underneath the city lights
Where you burn through everyone and everything did you wrong

Just toss it all into the pyre
Let the smoke rise ever higher
Walk much lighter and brighter with love gone

And the spark that lit the fire
Was a gift from my heart's desire
A bit of sunshine to wash away the dark
And the heat that fanned the flames
Was the memories of the names
Written on the kindling and tinder in our hearts

And the spark we feel again
Is that sunshine creeping in
With more letters and the promise of new starts
And the only ones we need
Are the ones who still believe
In the memories of the kindling in our hearts
