Slow-burnin' orb, steady-lit flame

Distance is safest but still burns the same

Thousands of miles

Hell-bent to roam

But I'll leave the lamplight burnin' 'til you make it home

Chill of the nighttime, white-line insane

Got enough warmth and no one to blame

Hundreds of times

[? 0:57] the floor

But I'll leave the lamplight burnin' 'til you lock the door

Lay down beside me, let me undress your burdens

Just rest your mind, boy, 'cause I know you've been hurtin'

No, it won't make you weaker, I know you'll never fall

Just as the flame from my slow-burnin' lamplight will never grow cold

Time is a healer, patience a friend

Comfort is crucial, a means to an end

And love is alive

And I'll never again

But I'll leave the lamplight burnin' 'til you let me in

Lay down beside me, let me undress your burdens

Just rest your mind, boy, 'cause I know you've been hurtin'

No, it won't make you weaker, I know you'll never fall

Just as the flame from my slow-burnin' lamplight will never grow cold

Just as the flame from my slow-burnin' lamplight will never grow cold
