Josh Ritter - Man Burning

don’t stand so close to me 


don’t be another tragedy 


I’ve burned everybody who had a hand to lend 


a man burning at both ends 


no one put me in this hell 


I lit a fire underneath myself 


now I’m blazing the same old trail back to you again 


a man burning at both ends 


a dangerous thing to know about 


no painless way to put me out 


you either make a bed that’s cold 


or you’re walking barefoot over coals 


I regret the things I’ve done 


bitter words and fiery tongues 


and letters burned to smoke and then turned to wind 


a man burning at both ends 


a dangerous thing to know about 


no painless way to put me out 


you either make a bed that’s cold 


or you’re walking barefoot over coals 


we ran barefoot through the reeds 


wetted down and with the need 


the tide though high and getting higher 


could not put out the man on fire 


look look look look look down your street for me 


look look look look look up your the window please 


you’ll see a light where before no light had been 


a man burning at both ends
