GPut your words into the fire
Watch them burn your heart's desireC  
Rise up in the airD  
In a Gcloud of silk and smoke and Cdust
Fade into the Dnight
It's a comforting Bmfeel with you Cby Dmy sideG  
GLet me shake your honest hands
And I'll sit down beside you Cnow
Lean our heavy Dheads
Of the Gweight of the things that are left unsCaid 
Don't Dworry about it now
Cause in the Gmorning Dthey will all just be Cashes Don the Gground
So what's been on your CmindD  
GEating Bmyou CinsideD  
GTaking Bmall of your CtimeD  
On this Cwarm summer Gnight
BbPut your words down in the fireG  
When we were down at sandy beacGh
Old man talking in Gyoung man's Cwords
Tell me Gwhere you would Dlike to be
GTonight don't be afraid to dreamC  
Lean on the Gfire a Dwhile
Cause in the Gmorning Dit will all just be Cashes Don the Gground
So what's been on your CmindD  
GEating Bmyou CinsideD  
GTaking Bmall of your CtimeD  
On this Cwarm summer Gnight
BbPut your words down in the fireG
