Send my dreams to the gallows,
As desperate and forlorn as they may seem,
What has this wretched town offered me,
Other than what remains to be seen?

I no longer hear the hum of Cecilia,
And Luke is nowhere to be found,
I am a shadow of what I once was,
And I fear I have finally lost the precious sound.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame,<br /> Where there is a flame someone&#039;s bound to get burned.<br /> Just because it burns doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re gonna die,<br /> You&#039;ve got to get up and try.
