Fire Within
A thousand years may diminish my tears
but a raging fire burns within I declare
it burns with a fury no one can quench
except her sweet beauty that sates me thence
An angel so lovely as your eyes can behold
floating on wings of feathery gold
now she is gone as memories dim
all I have left is the fire within
If she returns my heart will sing
until then I keep drinking my gin
if ever I glimpse those golden wings
I'll tell her this fire still burns within
