Nina Simone - Keeper Of The Flame - Текст песни

I'm the keeper of the flame 
My torch of love lights his name
Ask no pity about my shame
I'm the keeper of the flame

Played with fire and I was burned
Gave a heart but I was spurned
All this time how I have yearned 
Just to have my love returned

Years have passed by
And the spark still remains
True love can't die
It smolders in flames 
When the fire is burning out
And the angels call my name
Dying love will leave no doubt
That I'm the keeper of the flame

Years have passed by 
And the spark still remains
True love can't die
It smolders in flames
When the fire is burning out 
And the angels call my name
Dying love will leave no doubt
That I'm the keeper of the flame

Dying love will leave no doubt
That I'm the keeper of the flame

I'm the keeper of the flame
