"Distant Fire" lyrics

"Distant Fire"

I just had to hear your voice tonight
My heart left me no choice tonight
I'll bet you think I'm crazy
Well, maybe I am

Yes, I know it's late to call like this
But I was memory inspired
Feelings I've been keeping
Keeping me from sleeping
Burning like a distant fire

Yesterdays are in my heart tonight
And I can't fight that old desire
Loneliness remembers love that lives in embers
Flickering from a distant fire

From where we were, to where we are
Seems so close, to be so far
I'll never own the moon and stars
But I can see them shine

Like I said it's late to call like this
Darling, I apologize
Not for what I'm feeling, just for not revealing
This love I'm sending on the wire
Burning from a distant fire
