Paroles de The Fire Next Time

When i was a lonely child I'd sit beneath a tree I'd watch the clouds Float away from me Dreams i held so close inside Drifting to the sky God bless the child Who ever wondered why The fire next time If i was meant to burn for you And you to burn for me Are we just smoke through all eternity? Or is there something deeper still To keep this love alive? The lord gave us A hard rain tonight The fire next time When we met a mourning dove Returned from the sea I held you close You were a part of me Now you're gone the birds fly out Across the powerlines How can i love you If you're the hurting kind? When i was a lonely child I'd sit beneath the sky I'd watch the clouds See them pass me by The fire next time Come on and give me a sign It's not the rain this time…
