The Torch
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One precious moment, one measure of proof
Is all I need to make me run to you
A flash of light beyond a guide sign blue
In those eyes no disguise could hide the truth
You are almost human when you show how you feel
But things you say can cloak what love reveals
I need the woman that your words conceal
For tonight only flesh and blood is real
Lady, turn your light on
Make me know that you are there
I can' t wait any more, we could fly if you dare
So turn your light on, for I am waiting for you
Let the woman inside you pull me through
To carry the torch
Make love 'til daybreak and I can' t keep a way
As no two nights are ever quite the same
For when I think that all my strength is drained
Then I crawl on my knees to you again
As daylight brakes across the morning sky
She saved a dance to greet the dawning light
I realize that as I watch her flow
There are things only I will ever know
One precious moment, one measure of proof
Is all I need to make me run to you
A flash of light beyond a guide sign blue
In those eyes no disguise could hide the truth
You are almost human when you show how you feel
But things you say can cloak what love reveals
I need the woman that your words conceal
For tonight only flesh and blood is real
Lady, turn your light on
Make me know that you are there
I can' t wait any more, we could fly if you dare
So turn your light on, for I am waiting for you
Let the woman inside you pull me through
To carry the torch
Make love 'til daybreak and I can' t keep a way
As no two nights are ever quite the same
For when I think that all my strength is drained
Then I crawl on my knees to you again
As daylight brakes across the morning sky
She saved a dance to greet the dawning light
I realize that as I watch her flow
There are things only I will ever know
