That Fire Burning My Needs
That Fire Burning My Needs
I fought your memory deep into lonely nights
gentle touches that were all delights.
Do not hold my love against my last desire
for my feet are still in your fire.
Where life now rambles in my desperate mind
rests clouds of romance waiting to find.
More time and slow walks by midnight seas
and love that we find with such ease.
Return to me! That fire burning my needs
in your glow resides our eternal seeds.
And forever now awaits its greatest thrill
again, beneath our tree upon shady hill.
I fought your memory deep into lonely nights
gentle touches that were all delights.
Do not hold my love against my last desire
for my feet are still in your fire.
