Fear Of The Flame

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.

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.

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.

With your love I know

Through your eyes I see

It’s a lonely, lonely heart

Who’d believe.

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.

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.
