The fire, light looks and glows and fades
It's burning on down to a flicker
And the smoking pyre that we made
It's the same old joke but much sicker

Can you send me a sign
Throw a flare in the air
And if it all falls apart will you say I'm just sentimental

Torches are smoking and I'm sinking
Is this the last boat sailing today
And if I beg you please will you carry me, will you carry me
And brush the grey old indecision away

Can you send me a sign
Throw a flare in the air
And if it all falls apart will you say I'm just sentimental

When the last love song is written, will it be ours
Will the melody just fade in the wind
And if I cut my ear, will you call me, will you call me
And guide my settled heart back home again

Can you send me a sign
And throw a flare in the air
And if it all falls apart will you say I'm just sentimental
