How I’ve carried a torch for you
A way out of the darkness, finding love
When you are much more than enough
Fearing you might be too much
But I’m sure you want the truth
The light I have seen in you
Is greater than any torch I bear
And I know you’re still there
That is why I love you
For so long I have carried this fire
Through the storms, the wind and the rain
Slings and arrows, plenty of pain
And how I am going insane
Wanting you, my one desire
Your fire has burned me
Yet I still reach out
How can I be without?
I do believe, it’s destiny
The weight, it saps my strength
Yet I keep my grip
Be it wrong, such is sin
I just can’t give in
Baby I will wait
Because you’re not so heavy
Beautiful in the dark night
Holding you, so very light
Loving you, each and every
Crackle and pop, the flame does call
Like a siren’s beautiful song
And yet it is so very wrong
For whom the bell tolls, or a gong
But do I answer, do I fall
Call out to me, say my name
Won’t you come and ease my mind
Just to let me know you’re mine
To have your love, that’s my fame
Holding on, the touch the feel
How hard it’s been and all alone
Getting older, these old bones
But it’s all I’ve ever known
The touch of wood, the feel of steel
Yet the touch of you
I believe so warm and soft
Lighter still, gets me off
If only you would love me too
Instead this torch high off the floor
Until you love or until
I don’t love you anymore
