about

This is a song about rushing to the aide of someone you're not sure is going to be there when you get to them.
And everything that happens along the way.

lyrics

you were that stranger's voice at 4am
making sounds i could not hear
i should still be dreaming now
instead i'm in my sister's ear
with the, "Oh, my god" throughout the house
the, "Oh, my dear.." from my mother's mouth

you were Johnny's voice on the radio
Love is a burning thing
i should be singing with you now about that Fiery Ring
but the down, down, down of the morning rain
and the burn, burn, burn of my everything

and we drove light speed, at least in memory
all i could hear was your voice still
telling me to breathe for what i might see
while daddy wiped away the salt
from my eyes

you were Johnny's voice on the radio
Love is a burning thing
i should be singing with you now about that Fiery Ring
but the down, down, down of the morning rain
and the burn, burn, burn of my everything
