| I had a slow burn for you darling
|
| We were walkin' by the river
|
| I was young and a fool, darling
|
| I didn’t know about forever
|
| We took a train to Vermont, darling
|
| We skied the mountains in the west
|
| And all the while the fire smoldered
|
| I felt it burning in my chest
|
| We were walking by the ocean
|
| On the coast of California
|
| I felt that I should tell you something
|
| But then the moment passed
|
| Life went on for us, darling
|
| (I was never very far)
|
| We went our separate ways
|
| (But I had to stay away)
|
| I very seldom thought of you, darling
|
| (Hard to remember)
|
| The past was all a haze
|
| Then I saw you in the city
|
| (Couldn't believe my eyes)
|
| Your eyes lit up and so did mine
|
| (There was so much to say)
|
| We walked together by the reservoir
|
| (Hold my hand)
|
| And shared a glass of wine
|
| The time has passed away, darling
|
| I thought that flame was burning out
|
| I had my life to live, darling
|
| Could I let go of any doubt
|
| When I saw you that day in the city
|
| (Memories floated back)
|
| I suffered such a surprise
|
| (It all was such a surprise)
|
| The fire was lit and the slow burn started
|
| Had it never died
|
| Now there’s a slow burn, darling
|
| (Just like there’d been before)
|
| Like a sweet and smoky song
|
| (A longing in our hearts)
|
| And what I didn’t know, darling
|
| (Maybe this was meant to be)
|
| Was that your love was never gone
|
| I have a slow burn
|
| I have a slow burn
|
| I have a slow burn
|
| For you
|
| I have a slow burn
|
| I have a slow burn
|
| I have a slow burn
|
| For you |
