Burn Bright
by Scot Robinson, Bobby Cameron (Scot Free Sessions)
When we first met
My edges were rough
You were the shine
That polished my rust
You gave me your love
The arc of your touch
You dreamed of the sun
My love wasn't enough
CHORUS
We used to burn bright
A long time ago
Though the light faded
There still was a glow
Thought you'd be there
You're not around
There's dirt on my shovel
Your coffin's in the ground
Over the years
We still kept in touch
I'd give you a call
I missed you so much
You gave me your love
Strength and advice
By then it was awful
You were someone's new wife
CHORUS
We used to burn bright
A long time ago
Though the light faded
There still was a glow
Thought you'd be there
You're not around
There's dirt on my shovel
Your coffin's in the ground
Once you reached the sun
There was nowhere to go
Last saw you in an airport
Down Mexico
I was never your destination
I was somewhere between
I was somewhere between
Your past and your dreams
CHORUS
We used to burn bright
A long time ago
Though the light faded
There still was a glow
Thought you'd be there
You're not around
There's dirt on my shovel
Your coffin's in the ground
