The Bush Will Be On Fire

The bush will be on fire 
Long past I am gone 
By chance the flame burns out on me 
You've gotta keep on movin' on
 
By chance the flame burns out on you 
Before my day is due 
I'll keep on movin' on myself 
To keep that fire aflame for you

"I'll keep on movin' on, to keep that fire aflame for you." This is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. Many wonderful blessings to you, Charles. Hugs, Brandy
