Marianne Faithfull
Burning Moonlight

It’s just the sort of mood I’m in
Burning moonlight like fire, like food
Think about it as hard as you can
What does it mean? What’s the plan?

Is it what we say it is?
Is it right?
I’m walking in fire, I’m burning moonlight
Burning moonlight to survive, walking in fire is my life

It seems I nearly had a plan
My thoughts come, one by one
Wherever I go, I’m alone
I’m walking through fire, no one can know
Though I love the light

Is it what we say it is?
Is it right?
I’m walking in fire, I’m burning moonlight
Burning moonlight to survive, walking in fire is my life
My life

Burning moonlight to survive, walking in fire is my life
