There's a time that I recall
|
When I tried to give it all
|
And got burned by the flame
|
That I thought would keep me warm
|
So I promised myself then
|
That I'd never care again
|
And I would not forget that roses have thorns.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
Don't go near the fire it will hurt you, it will burn you
|
Love and desire only lead to pain.
|
The heart that gives in becomes ashes in the wind
|
O but you came along and cured my fear of the flame.
|
|
I learned from your love
|
Just how wrong I was
|
When you came along
|
And carried all my fears away
|
So gentle and tender,
|
Cinder by cinder
|
I hardly remember the fool who used to say.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
|
With your love I know
|
Through your eyes I see
|
It's a lonely, lonely heart
|
Who'd believe.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
|
[CHORUS fading]
