The Fire of Love
Embers of Unrequited Longing
Lyrics
The fire of love
The intense emotion of love
Has burned me through
Love has deeply affected and consumed me
No vow ever made
No promise or commitment made in the past
Yet I wasn't given to
I did not resist or oppose
Now the bows are fading
Gifts and gestures from the loved one are losing their impact
On every gift she brings
The significance of gifts is diminishing
And I'm left alone to tremble
Feeling abandoned and vulnerable
Like a meadow [?]
Comparing oneself to a meadow, possibly symbolizing openness and exposure
Perfect hands
Reference to the hands of someone claiming or taking ownership
Claim what they will
Asserting their rights or desires
Know how to hold a heart
Knowing how to handle a heart with skill
Not being still
Not remaining stationary but being active or dynamic
And I've tried to settle-In
Attempting to adapt and get accustomed to the situation
Love hurt as she goes
Love causes pain as it progresses
But there's really nothing gentle
Love is not gentle, possibly indicating rough experiences
In the touch upon her nose
Highlighting the lack of gentleness in the touch
Fare thee well
Wishing farewell to a true love
True love of mine
Expressing a hope for the loved one's enduring happiness
May all your sweeter fruit
May the sweetest memories last forever
Cling forever
An expression of permanence and clinging to the positive aspects
The road is hard to follow
The journey of love is challenging
When you're done drifting through
Difficulty in finding direction after experiencing different phases
But if you ever find the middle
If you find stability or balance, I'll be here when you do
I'll be waiting when you do
Waiting for the loved one to find a sense of equilibrium
