Lyrics for Keeper Of The Flame

Argent-White See me, hear me This is what I am when we're together For we are born alone, seen to stumble Pass the early days in pain and pleasure Oh maybe I was lost and sometimes was confused But I was just a boy then And I was living, forgiving, making music Making love with equal pleasure Remember, remember the winter When the cold rain on the mystery fell These years they, they make me my fortune But my memories serve to make me as well We drank the sun, shared the wind Being part of one increased the wonder The moment passes, still unreal Yet frozen in a timeless state of feeling I remember, remember the sunrise Left me breathless streaming ribbons of gold Now I'm older but still I am watching Watching breathless as the mystery unfolds And I recall the things I heard would wash me With a rare and perfect sadness I don't pretend to understand the waves of life That flame and course within us I'm just the keeper of the flame And so I will remain while life flows on around me I'm just the keeper of the flame Enduring all the pain and lost in joy and wonder I'm just the keeper of the flame (I'm just the keeper, the keeper) I'm just the keeper of the flame (I'm just the keeper, the keeper) I'm just the keeper of the flame
