Verse
When the fire burns out here
It's brighter than the city lights
Warmer than a heart of gold
And dingos 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
Chorus
If I'm not here in the morning
I'll cry a river of tears
I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
Instrumental
G D Em C x2
Verse
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 fire's burned to ashes
And it's darker than before
But I can see as clear as day
Chorus
If I'm not here in the morning
I'll cry a river, river of tears
I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
