LYRICS
i prayed to the stars for a love
as deep as it was free
then you came along and opened up
your sanctuary to me
walking thru your rooms safe in your arms
but you don’t know the shadow in my heart

(take a walk thru your house,
a place to start again
this could have been heaven,
but i let the devil in)

underneath the carpet
buried in a kiss
i cannot hide it
how much longer must i twist
is it nearly over?
are we near the end?
only you can tell me
how much longer must i twist in the wind?

(in your house)
i started a fire in your house

after all of the words have been spoken
will these four walls remain
but the fear that grips me as we speak
is that we’ll never be the same

smoke in the bedroom
underneath the door
the heat is rising
i can’t breathe in the temperature
is it nearly over?
are we near the end?
only you can tell me
how much longer must i twist in the wind?

(in your house)
i started a fire in your house

in Zulu
Lomshika shika
wendaba
wawushisa umuzi wami
(Awubheke!)

this struggle, pulling in opposite directions
of this complex affair
has burned my home
(just look at this!)

you don’t know the shadow in my heart...

what burns in the fire
we’ll find again in the ashes
