Burning
IT IS STILL BURNING
A FLAME I HAVE TRIED TO PUT OUT
EVERYTIME I AM LONELY
YOUR FACE COMES SMILING
DAY DREAMING ABOUT YOU
NO OTHER HAD LEFT SUCH PRINTS
DENYING REALITY
WOULD BE MUCH PAIN
I LET IT BURN AND BURN
TO FREE MY HEART FROM THIS PRISON
HOW NOW
EVERYTHING REMINDS ME YOU
THE LONG DAYS OF SOLITARY
COULD NOT DRIVE THIS AGONY
HOW I REALISE NOW THAT
IT IS STILL BURNING, BURNING FOR YOU
