Hold The Fire

(album: 40 Years: The Complete Singles Collection 1966-2006 - 2009)

You can't believe your eyes, the lines that show;
The mirror doesn't lie, you're growing old.
The love, the love, the love you thought would last a lifetime is growing cold.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa).
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa).
Now you say your hands are shaking,
Now you say your heart is breaking,
Now you've got a funny feeling nothing lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)

You said you'd never change, you were born to fly.
But, now you're feeling strange and you don't know why.
The time, the time, the time you'd thought would last forever has left you dry.
You're the one who had to run and hold the fire (whoa).
You were hot and always got your one desire (whoa).
Peace and love you once called freedom;
You ain't sure you're still believing,
Now you've got a funny feeling nothing lasts forever, hold the fire.
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Gotta hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold the fire.

(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold on
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) C'mon, hold the fire.
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Hold on, hold on
(You were hot and always got your one desire) Hold the fire
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Just hold the fire
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire) Oh
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
(You're the one who had to run and hold the fire)
(You were hot and always got your one desire)
