Keeper of the Flame

In the gloaming, I can see you
I can see your eyes
They're looking colder
They're looking through me
They're seeing all of my lies

Well, I don't need no sore defense
I don't need to go on pretending
What I did, I have done, I would do again
I am the keeper of the flame

My love's gonna bring you down
My love's gonna fill you up
My love is the talk of town
I am the keeper of the flame

In the distance, in the spotlight
In your midnight mind
You can't touch me
But your finger's pointing all of the time

Well, I don't need no heart-to-heart
I don't need no broader shoulders
What I did, I have done, I would do again
I am the keeper of the flame

My love's gonna bring you down
My love's gonna build you up
My love is the talk of town
I am the keeper of the flame

My love's gonna tear you down
My love's gonna build you up
My love is the talk of town
I am the keeper of the flame

Don't try to console me, no
Though it's such a shame
We didn't go on and on

My love's gonna bring you down
My love's gonna fill you up
My love's been talkin' in the town
I am the keeper of the flame

My love's gonna rip you down
My love's gonna get you, oh-oh, oh-oh
Listen, we're the talk of town
I am the keeper of the flame, oh yeah
