Burn Down Low
(Music and Lyrics by Ben Ginter)
When there's time,
It's like golden.
Spend it right,
And soon you'll be holdin'
To the one,
Who's the reason
You came here
To burn down low.
East to west
And dusk 'til dawnin'
And all that longin'
Just outside the door.
Can't decide
Run, stay or hide
'Cause there's no sign left behind
When you burn down low.
The one you found
Walkin' on hallowed ground
When you hear a sound
You'd soon recognize.
It's a lover's sigh
Or maybe a lonely cry.
Then, you remember why
You burn down low.
I've heard them say
It's better to fold away
Then to risk and stay
With an empty hand,
But when the bluffin's done,
And two are as one
Just like the settin' sun
You burn down low.
