Slow and Steady Flame

In the hush of evening My heart begins to strain Reaching through the distance For the love that slipped away Shadows stretch across the room Where laughter used to play I trace the outline of your smile Though you are far away Far from here Every breath I take is heavy With the words I long to say Hoping they will find you And draw you where I need There's longing wraps around me Like a slow and steady flame Calling out your spirit Though the miles remain the same In the rhythm of my heartbeat I can feel you You close more Waiting for the morning When you walk back through my door Time moves like a river But my love refuses to fade I gather every memory And hold them unafraid Even when the silence Tries to pull me to the ground Your name becomes my anchor And I will not let go I will not let you down And I will not let you down There's a longing wraps around me There's a longing wraps around me There's a longing wraps around me Like a slow and steady flame Calling out your spirit Though the miles remain the same In the rhythm of my heartbeat I can feel you close more Waiting for the morning When you walk back through my door So I keep the light burning Till the moment you return to In this tender long time And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn And my heart will always yearn
