I Burn For You

I slept all night in the boughs of a tall tree
That stretched its branches skywards
If I could learn any lesson from sleeping beside you
I’d say keep your feet planted firmly on the ground
I rode many journeys both with and without you
Travelled the roads till my feet were their colour
I saw many stars even before I met you
When you held my waist and my feet left the ground
And oh, it hurts more than I can say
To have your whole world and then to have it swept away
A raging fire couldn’t do me any harm
And I know because I burn for you
I burn for you
I burn for you
I’ve known your love since before you could speak it
I held you closer than she ever will
We burned so bright that the night was extinguished
Bright as the music that flowed through our fingers
And oh, it hurts more than I can say
To have your whole world and then to have it swept away
A raging fire couldn’t do me any harm
And I know because I burn for you
I burn for you
I burn for you
