Midnight Fire
Steve Wariner · Ultimate Collection [Hip-O Records] [2000]
Burning holes in the heart of the night
Once the flames are burning bright
There's no running from the light
Of the midnight fire
Impatience got a hold of us now
We're fighting but we're losing ground somehow
Wearing someone else's rings
And our hearts are filled with doubt
But the fire's getting hotter and we just can't put it out
Midnight fire, loves sweet desire
Burning holes in the heart of the night
Once the flames are burning bright
There's no running from the light
Of the midnight fire
In the daylight we never touched like this
There's a magic in the night we can't resist
There's a danger in the darkness knowing only shadows see
That [Incomprehensible] fire we're building is controlling you and me
Just won't set us free
Midnight fire loves sweet desire
Burning holes in the heart of the night
Once the flames are burning bright
There's no running from the light
Of the midnight fire
