There was a spark in my house
but we could not see it, we were out
so the smoke billowed through each room
turning black and oily what I knew
What would you give to paint the walls white
what would you give for a second chance at life
what would you give to have never set it off
what would you give for my love
There was a needle in the hay
but it had sifted to the bottom, till one day
you and I rode the eye of a hurricane
and it stitched us back together where we lay
What would you give to paint the walls white
what would you give for a second chance at life
what would you give to have never set it off
what would you give for my love
