Lyrics
No fire or danger, no storm in the sky
No tears or anger, no word of a lie
Just an ordinary day doing things I had to do
When I put down the torch I was carrying for you
No hearts got broken and nothing was said
It just burned out a hole in the middle of my head
And that night I slept sweetly and sound in my bed
When I put down the torch I was carrying for you
Oh I loved you so truly, I loved you for good
But carrying that torch was like carrying dead wood
So I laid it gently as quiet as I could
When I put down the torch I was carrying for you
No fire or danger, no storm in the sky
No tears or anger, no word of a lie
Just an ordinary day doing things I had to do
When I put down the torch I was carrying for you
So that's how it happened, nothing tragic or new
I just put down the torch I was carrying for you
Just an ordinary day doing things I had to do
And when the flame was dying I think that I blew
