| You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
|
| They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
|
| One day I might die, until then there’s too much to do
|
| But I’ll keep a bonfire for you.
|
| I’ve seen the pretty boys that you’re keeping around
|
| I know how it goes, I’ve got a girl in town.
|
| And she likes me enough to do what I like to do.
|
| But, I’ll keep a bonfire for you.
|
| Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch
|
| Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for
|
| Let the other lovers talk about who got what
|
| And who got burned and who got cut
|
| I’ll be in the orchard when you get tired
|
| Day after day of the shouts from the choir
|
| Eating the apples and eating the peaches, too
|
| And waiting by my bonfire for you.
|
| In the dark anybody will do for love
|
| But you’re the only one I want when the sun comes up
|
| No burning ball of fire set in the sky will do
|
| Next to my bonfire for you.
|
| Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch
|
| Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for
|
| Let the other lovers talk about who got what
|
| And who got burned and who got cut
|
| I need a little motion, need a little relief
|
| I get a little lonely at the end of the week
|
| And I want it so bad and if you want it so bad, too
|
| I’ll be over here with my bonfire for you.
|
| You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
|
| They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
|
| One day I might die, until then there’s too much to do
|
| But I’ll keep a bonfire for you. |
