lyrics

Well I feel wasted and alone,
And I can't bare a heavy load,
Sweet Caroline will never know,
That in her eyes I'll find my home,
Like an ember, in the cold,
Let the fire heat up your soul,

And let it burn let it burn,
Oh let it burn,
Yeah let it burn let it burn,
Oh let it burn,

Take your fortunes away from me,
And the temptation that it brings,
Though I try I'll never be,
Strong enough to feel the pain,
So light the match that burns the coal,
Let the fire heat up your soul,

And let it burn let it burn,
Oh let it burn,
Yeah let it burn let it burn,
Oh let it burn,

I've been waiting such a long time baby,
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,

When I've reached my final day,
Where my voice has ceased to say,
Lay my body down to stay,
Where the dead roots will lay,
And watch the ashes turn to gold,
Let the fire heat up your soul,

And let it burn let it burn,
Oh let it burn,
Yeah let it burn let it burn,
Let it burn let it burn let it burn.
