i had a slow burn for you darling
we were walkin' by the river
i was young and a fool
darling
i didn't know about forever
we took a train to vermont
darling
we skied the mountains in the west
and all the while the fire smoldered
i felt it burning in my chest
we were walking by the ocean
on the coast of california
i felt that i should tell you something
but then the moment passed
life went on for us
darling
we went our separate ways
i very seldom thought of you
darling
the past was all a haze
then i saw you in the city
your eyes lit up and so did mine
we walked together by the reservoir
and shared a glass of wine
the time has passed away
darling
i thought that flame was burning out
i had my life to live
darling
could i let go of any doubt
when i saw you that day in the city
i suffered such a surprise
the fire was lit and the slow burn started
had it never died
now there's a slow burn
darling
like a sweet and smoky song
and what i didn't know
darling
was that your love was never gone
i have a slow burn
i have a slow burn
i have a slow burn
for you
i have a slow burn
i have a slow burn
i have a slow burn
for you
