Keeper Of The Flame - Nina Simone

I’m the keeper of the flame

My torch of love lights his name

Ask no pity, beg my shame (?)

I’m the keeper of the flame

Played with fire and I was burn

Gave a heart but I was spurn

All these time I have yearned

Just to have my love return

Years have passed by The spark still remains

True love can’t die

It smoulders in flame

when the fire is burning off

and the angels call my name

Dying love will leave no doubt

I’m the keeper of the flame

years have passed by the spark still remains

true love can’t die

it smoulders in flame

when the fire is burning out

and the angels call my love

Dying love will leave no doubt

I’m the keeper of the flame
