Leonard Cohen Night Magic - Fire Lyrics

Night Magic - Fire Lyrics

(Michael) I burnt the house of love tonight 

It made a perfect ring 

In which I saw some weeds and stone 

Beyond not anything 

Certain creatures of the air 

Frightened by the night 

They came
to see the world again 

And they perished in the light 



So
now I sail from sky to sky 

And all the blackness sings 

Against
the boat that I have made 

Of mutilated wings 



Fire in this
house of mine 

Fire of my own design 

Fire from the sky 

Fire
from the sea 

Come fire come 

Fire onto thee 

Fire in the
house of love 



I burnt the house of love tonight 

I burnt
the house of love tonight 

I burnt the house of love tonight
