Foolishly I destroyed a love,
For a little cup of passion,
and for just a little taste of you
And for one glowing moment,
I rushed headlong into something,
and I knew it could never, be
With your kiss upon my lips,
Leaving me adrift between you and yesterday
I can't go back, I can't go on
I can't recapture love and
Although you don't want me,
I know you don't want me,
keep pounding in my brain
Oh, my love keeps on growing
Like an ember in the ashes it grows, oh
And stop this hungry madness
Help me, help me baby, from this misery I can't go on,
I can't go on if you're not here with me
I'm weaker than a flower,
just too hot to try and stand on
My mind tells me one thing,
My strength is my weakness,
and I don't know what to do
Oh, my love keeps on going
Like the endless river flowing,
Oh, my love keeps on going
It flows on and on for all this time
And my love keeps on going
And I'll hold it on for the greatest part
