Standing on the corner playing for nickels and dimes When I saw you for the very first time You said, "Come away with me gypsy boy" Right then I could feel the spark Burning, burning, lighting up the dark And it set my heart, heart on fire The years have fallen like the magnolia leaves The summer storm has become this gentle breeze
But like when love was young And the flamme was easy to start Burning, burning, lighting up the dark And it set my heart, heart on fire Chorus Heart on fire I can't stop the burning I'm running wild like a mischevious child With my heart on fire Hold on to your dreams for if they die The fire burning will grow cold inside
