Distant Fire - Michael Johnson

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
