Troy - The Phoenix From the Flame Songtext
von Sinéad O’Connor

I′ll remember it
Dublin in a rainstorm, ah
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keepin' warm

I′ll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then, we thought that everything
We could possibly do was right

And we moved, stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Then tell me when did the light die

You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame

Will learn
Will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy for you to burn, aw


I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn′t mean those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I′ll keep my hands to myself instead

Oh, does she love you?
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do? Oh

Do you love her?
Is she good for you? Oh
Does she hold you like I do?
Ohh-ohh-ohh uhh-ohh
Ahh-ahh-ahh uhh-ohh-ohh-ohh

You want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me that you love me
Just sometimes I wonder if I should believe

Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I′d kill a dragon for you, I'll die

But I will rise
And I will return
The phoenix from the flame


I have learned, I will rise
You′ll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy for me to burn, ah

And you should've left the light on
You should′ve left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known

And I wouldn′t have pulled you tighter
No, I wouldn′t have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed, no, I can′t let you go
If the door wasn't closed

No, I wouldn′t have pulled you to me
No, I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn′t have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place

Ah, but I know you wanted me to be there, oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so, oh oh
But you should've left the light on
You should′ve left the light on

And the flame burned away
But you′re still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say

You're still a liar
You′re still a liar
You're still a liar

Thank you very much, good night
