'Neath your feet you feel the world is shaking
And your dreams slowly sifting thro' your hand
But there's a place you'll never be forsaken
I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind
Life can be a silver river winding
With the dark side awaiting 'round the bend
But for you, a light is always shining
'Cause I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind
And I'll be waiting here with arms that ache to hold you
Till forever turns around and starts again
Should you need someone who'll never harm you
I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind
And I'll be waiting here with arms that ache to hold you
Till forever turns around and starts again
Should you need someone who'll never harm you
I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind
