Stoke My Fire

(Album: Watermelon Oranges - 2006)

Stoke my fire, baby
Stoke it good and strong
Pile it way up high
So I burn all night long

Do not be afraid
I would not do you wrong
Stand close to my flame
Let me keep you warm

When the morning comes
I would not close my eyes
Though I've not slept for long
It's time to realize

Take her in my arms
And though I will be tried
I will not be alone
Everything will be alright

Well, it seems we were born to be one, baby
We were not meant to be alone, baby
I've been so sure you are the one for me
Stoke my fire, baby
My hope is in you

Stoke my fire, baby
And don't let it grow dim
Keep putting wood on me
'Til I remind you of him

You first set me ablaze
A long, long time before
You even knew my name
'Cause he knew mine, and you, yours

Well, it seems we were born to be one, baby
We were not meant to be alone, baby
I've been so sure you are the one for me
Stoke my fire, baby
All my hope is in you

Bear your cold desires, baby
Let my flame warm me right through

And it seems we were born to be one, baby
We were not meant to be alone, baby
I've been so sure you are the one for me
Stoke my fire, baby
My hope is in you

Bear your cold desires, baby
Let my flame warm you right through
Stoke my fire, baby
My hope is in you
My hope is in you
My hope is in you
