Lyrics Judy Collins – Close To The Flame
Text:
You wanna be warmed by the desire
But you don’t wanna get burned
You want me to take you much higher
But you escape at every turn
Keeping your secrets can turn on you
Baby get closer, get close to the flame
Dance in the flame, again and again
Surrender the moment, release the pain
Get close to the flame
You wanna be held like a baby
But you hold back, you won’t cry
You wanna be happy with maybe
But maybe could end in good-bye
There is no shame in facing the truth
If you want love, then this what you gotta do
Baby get closer, get closer to the flame
Dance in the flame, again and again
Surrender the moment, release the pain
Get close to the flame
Touching, caressing through the shadows of the night
Don’t let your heartache close you off from the light
Baby get closer, Baby get closer, Baby get closer
Closer and closer to me
Baby get closer, get close to the flame
Dance in the flame, again and again
Surrender the moment, release the pain
Get close to the flame
