Bonfires
Blue Foundation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was given wine
We're feeling okay
And quite all right
You wash my tears away
And make me wanna stay
And bonfires lit up the shores

(Way far far-away)
To go beside you
Is where I want to be
(Way far far-away)
To laugh, to love

Days of roses and wine
Drifting astray
With your hand in mine
You stroke my fears away
And make me wanna stay
And bonfires lit up the shores

(Way far far-away)
To go beside you
Is where I want to be
(Way far far-away)
To laugh, to love

(Way far far-away)
Where to go and hide?
We're going to the sea
(Way far far-away)
To laugh, to love

And this is how it went;
I am here to stay
Roaring with the wind
There's life within

This is what I give
A circle is complete
Another circle spins




There's life within
Within

Haven't heard this song in more than 10 years. And my heart hurts after the first 5 sec like it did then.
The magic of good music

@HittokiriBattousai17

It's the type of song that always comes with precious memories. It's rather bittersweet.
