Lyrics

Verse 1

I feel you in my soul

I see you in my mind

I hear your words from a heart

That blows my mind

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

Chorus

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

You are known to me

From the past where we crossed paths before

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

Verse 2

Morning came with rivers cold

And I remembered your face

A ghost of us in every stone

A rhythm I can trace

The water spoke your syllables

The embers caught your name

Every mile I ever walked

Was leading to the flame

Chorus

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

You are known to me

From the past where we crossed paths before

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

Bridge

Somewhere in the turning years

We were one and the same

I can't explain the pull I feel

It's written in my veins

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

The road gets long and dusty

The sky gets old and wide

But every time the stars come out

I see you in the tide

We've been here before I swear

In another skin, another war

The sun shines from your flaming heart

Forever and before

Chorus

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

You are known to me

From the past where we crossed paths before

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

Outro

For now and ever more

(For now and ever more)

For now and ever more

(Forever and before)

For now and ever more

Verse 4

The canyon walls remember

The words we never said

The moonlight paints the river

With silver on the bed

I trace the constellations

Like letters on your skin

Every road that brought me here

Was always caving in

Chorus

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

You are known to me

From the past where we crossed paths before

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

Instrumental Break

Verse 5

The wind it carries signals

From mountains yet to climb

Your voice is in the thunder

Rolling out through space and time

I've worn a hundred faces

In a hundred different lands

But every time I close my eyes

I'm holding out my hands

Chorus

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

You are known to me

From the past where we crossed paths before

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

Bridge 2

If the world should end in silence

If the stars should fall away

I would still recognize you

At the closing of the day

Guitar Solo

Verse 6

The old bells of the chapel

Still ring for what we were

The scent of rain on granite

And the amber in the fur

I walk the empty shoreline

Where the tide forgets its name

And still the fire answers

When I whisper yours the same

Chorus

You are known to me

By the fire and the flame

By the running waters

And the birds who sing the same

You are known to me

From the past where we crossed paths before

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

Outro

For now and ever more

(Forever and before)

For now and ever more

(And evermore)

The sun shines from your flaming heart

For now and ever more

(The sun shines on)

For now and ever more
