Between the blues
The waves caressing
The beach mist rising
My pursed lips pressing

To hold back words
So long they burned
There in our eyes
The pages turn

So now the roses fade
And down inside
The burning, twisting blade

Of things we've lost
And pain we've earned
But yet I know
How true hearts burn

(chorus)

How true hearts burn
To hold the sweetness
The lessons learned
To know completeness

Down in your soul
My touch enfolds you
And how we yearn
When true hearts burn

(bridge)

But destiny's fickle
It's not cast in stone
Truth comes in a trickle
And love stands alone

It's not set for wonder
No question of chance
The dance of our thunder
The twist of romance

The passionate turn

(to chorus)

How True Hearts Burn
