Keep the Fire

There's a river in

Evening ember glow

And you're wishing you could see

How far it flows

Rolling on to an endless sea

You'd be well on your way

If you could only set sail.

But dreams can drift away

And sails can fill with doubt

Where's your vision

If the embers flicker out?

Don't let it slip from view

The horizons are waiting

Your river is fading

(chorus)

So keep the fire burning tonight

See just what comes into sight

Don't take forever

Take it through the night

And believe the sun

Will rise with the dawn

That's all you need to go on

But for tonight

Just keep the fire burning bright

I will never need to ask

'what have i done?'

Comes a moment when it's clear

There's only one.

Oh, whatever you need of me

I've made up my mind

I'll give you more than you've asked for

And there are those who can foresee

Where we will go

All the future...

I don't really want to know

Only that you'll be here with me.

While the embers still glow

We'll be safe till tomorrow.
