A Keeper For Every Flame — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

She says it`s been so long, she can`t remember when
The mention of his name didn`t make her feel again
That everything is possible and every day a brand new start
Yeah, love`s something powerful when it finds a willing heart

Sometimes it`s a fire burning out of control
Sometimes it`s a candle burning long and low
All these years she never let it go
There`s a keeper for every flame

There is someone in his past that he hasn`t gotten over yet
Each day`s like the last, he just misses what he can`t forget

It`s just an empty space where something used to be
Now he guards the gate, but he`s lost the key
So no one enters, but no one leaves
There`s a keeper for every flame

Thought my heart had broken, but it was just a little bruised
I thought love had spoken, I guess I was just confused

Sometimes we were a fire burning out of control
Sometimes we were nothing but a candle glow
But it never died, baby, how I know
There`s a keeper for every flame
