Tryin' To Hide A Fire In The Dark
Hazell Dean · Other Songs - Hazell Dean
I should think of an alibi
Though I'm innocent, I've still got a guilty mind
There's no place that I can turn to
When she turns out the lights
To keep her from seein' you burnin' in my eyes
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothin' can help me now
No, no, no, no, no
At first it was no problem
Flickering thoughts of you now and then
Nothin' intimate that she could call a sin
Then you sparked my imagination
Temptation 'bout to drive me wild
These flares of desire you can see for miles
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothin' can help me now
Now, now
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Tryin' to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothin' can help me now
It's like tryin' to hide a fire in the dark
Carryin' around this torch in my heart
