nevada - pictures in the fire lyrics

pictures in the fire
reflections of myself
take a look in the mirror
what do i see
a portrait of me

[chorus:]
and the smoke curls up the chimney
sending messages of love
but you're so far away
so far away

this cold wintry evening
i curl up by the fire
i wonder what you're doing
i know we agreed
to part for a while

[chorus]

so here i am alone again
pretending that you're with me
i can't so no/she can't say no
and i can't let go/and she can't let go
i thought he'd never leave me

turning round i see you
i know it's tonight
it's just my heart deceiving
a trick of the light

and the smoke curls up the chimney
sending messages of love
if only you were with me
oooh oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh oooh oooh / oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh with me

and i can't say no ... she can't say no
and i can't let go ... and she can't let go
pretending that you're with me

so here i am alone again
thought you'd never leave me
