Misty water-colored memories  
Of the way we were  
Scattered pictures  
Of the smiles we left behind

Photographs and memories  
all the love you gave to me  
somehow it just can’t be true  
that’s all I’ve left of you . . . .

But we sure had a good time  
when we started way back when  
morning walks and bedroom talks  
oh how I loved you then!

That was then, this is now  
Let me prove my love, girl  
I’ll make you proud

This burning heart of mine  
it still burns after all this time  
This burning heart in me  
won’t let me be, no won’t let me be

Our love is alive and so we begin  
foolishly layin’ our hearts on the table, stumblin’ in  
Our love is a flame burnin’ within  
now and then fire light will catch us stumblin’ in.

You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark.  
This gun’s for hire, even if we’re just dancing in the dark.

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier,  
Spare a thought for his back breaking work  
Say a prayer for his wife and his children,  
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

You can say a prayer for anyone  
You’ve known or you might see  
Say a prayer for all of these and more  
But there’s still no prayer for me

Say a prayer for every living thing  
The unborn and deceased  
But I haven’t got a prayer I know  
That’s the nature of the beast

My feet are burning holes in the ground
