I lit a fire
under my heart
it burns
oh baby
it burns
it's a flame
that reaches the ceiling
a flame that lights up this room!
a flame
that opens the front door
a flame that
shoots for the stars
my love for you
smolders
quavers
and then snaps like
pitch on a log
the wind blows
and the embers
glow brighter and brighter
until the whole woodpile
explodes
on fire!
too long I've been out of matches
too long I've left the lid
on the gasoline and diesel
too long I've left this fire unstoked
too long since the flame was constant
but the embers now are ablaze
no more ashes to be stirred
don't get the water out
there'll be no drowning this inferno
my love for you opens the front door
and shouts to the star-filled sky
where a million billion stars
are also on fire
love reigns!
