Only love

Listening to Stevie... as usual inspired.

There was smoke
It pillowed the town
I tried to feel the fire
All I felt was ice
An he melted me
I melted him
But all that was left was an ocean
So i swam and swam
Til I found dry land
An I smelt smoke
So I looked for fire again

Only love has that ever lasting sting
That warmth of a thousand trees
An a distinct taste
In the bottom of your soul
Like some angel that whispers 'I'm never letting go'

There was fire
After many traces of ash
After a few smokey eyes
I would eventually see
The fire that was built in front of me
Some of us collect branches
If only for a very short time
Some of douse others in spirits
Every wise one knows
It's all about patience it's all about persistence
An no two fires burn alike

So feel the flames even as they fade away
Rub the ashes in and wash them away
Allow the river to take the wood a stray
Never take it for granted or keep your light at bay

Only love has that ever lasting sting
That warmth of a thousand trees
An a distinct taste
In the bottom of your soul
Like some angel that whispers 'I'm never letting go'

An he whispers it to me
An I whisper it to him
Feeling the fire
That burns within
Only love knows how to heat a heart
