When The Night's On Fire Lyrics by Mike Oldfield

When The Night's On Fire

[I was hoping] Could you be my inspiration?
Whatever should become in the candlelight.
[I was dreaming] Was it my imagination?
Tomorrow never comes in the candlelight.


[ Chorus 1 ]

When the night's on fire,
Do you need love's arms to hold you?
It's a flame, there burns no finer.
When you see one bird,
There's another one watching over.
And the two can fly much higher.


I was listening to the wind that walks the hours.
I never would have heard, in the candlelight.
I was hoping, would you shelter me from showers?
I believe every word in the candlelight.


[ Repeat Chorus 1 ]

[ Chorus 2 ]

When the night's on
Fire and you burn
Like a flame that's burning in the rain,
Do you need somewhere to turn?
When you see one bird,
It's the two that fly higher
And a second in heaven's worth a whole life's
Trouble and trial.
Trouble and trial.


[ Repeat Chorus 2 ]

When's the night's on fire
Do you need love's arms to hold you? [When the night's on fire]
When you see one bird fly,
There's another one watching over. [When the night's on fire]
When the night's on fire.
It's a flame, there burns no finer. [When the night's on fire]
When you see one bird fly,
It's the two that fly much higher. [When the night's on fire]
