Burn me with the ache of a thousand teardrops
Love me with the mystery of a shooting star

Burn me with the whisper of tender kisses
Love me with the fierceness of innocence gone

Burn me until blindly I see you
Love me until I can love no more

Burn me until dawn's blanket erupts
Love me until tears glisten the ocean shore

Burn me and I shall die with pregnant need
Love me and I shall live in gentle hope

Burn me and I will surrender in glorious rapture
Love me and I will reach only for your soul
