I Burn For You - Kirsty McGee

I slept all night in the boughs of a tall tree

That stretched its branches skywards

If I could learn any lesson from sleeping beside you

I’d say keep your feet planted firmly on the ground

I rode many journeys both with and without you

Travelled the roads till my feet were their colour

I saw many stars even before I met you

When you held my waist and my feet left the ground

And oh, it hurts more than I can say

To have your whole world and then to have it swept away

A raging fire couldn’t do me any harm

And I know because I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I’ve known your love since before you could speak it

I held you closer than she ever will

We burned so bright that the night was extinguished

Bright as the music that flowed through our fingers

And oh, it hurts more than I can say

To have your whole world and then to have it swept away

A raging fire couldn’t do me any harm

And I know because I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you
