Bonfire

[Verse 1]

You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists

They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed

One day, I might die, until then, there’s too much to do

But I’ll keep a bonfire for you

[Verse 2]

I’ve seen the pretty boys that you’re keeping around

I know how it goes, I got a girl in town

And she likes me enough to do what we like to do

But I’ll keep a bonfire for you

[Chorus]

Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch

Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for

Let the other lovers talk about who got what

And who got burned and who got cut

[Verse 3]

I’ll be in the orchard when you get tired

Day after day of the shouts from the choir

Eating the apples and eating the peaches, too

And waiting by my bonfire for you

[Verse 4]

In the dark, anybody can do for love

But you’re the only one I want when the sun comes up

No burning ball of fire set in the sky will do

Next to my bonfire for you

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

I need a little motion, need a little relief

I get a little lonely at the end of the week

And I want it so bad and if you want it so bad, too

I’ll be over here with my bonfire for you

[Verse 1]
