Lyrics
Tending the Flame
©Andy May, Lauren LeCroy May (Swift River Music/BMI)
There’s no denying our love is dying
Heaven knows, it’s a crying shame
We believed in forever, planned to reach it together
But no one’s been Tending the Flame
We’ve been so busy working and hiding the hurting
Constantly skirting the pain
This chill that we’re feeling is just our hearts revealing
That no one’s been Tending the Flame
Bridge:
We thought it would burn on and on
Now all but an ember is gone
Darlin’, we can revive it, somehow we’ll survive this
We’ve been too long divided, it’s plain
Let’s rekindle the magic, toss out the tragic
And take time for Tending the Flame
Let’s light the matches, sweep off the ashes
And take time for Tending the Flame
