Chris de Burgh › Lyrics › Fire on the Water

When I touch you I can feel you shivering
I can feel your heart is beating fast
We are alone in this crowded room

Oh, tonight there is something happening
And it's something that should never be
But there's a flame over you and me

And I can see the fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun

There's a place in an ancient fortress
High above the worries of the world
I'd love you there for a long, long time

And we'll discover all our deepest secrets
And let the spirit go flying free
Until the dawn breaks over the sea

It's burning like fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Yes, I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Oh, let it shine on me

And I can see the fire on the water
I can see the light shining in your eyes
I know that I can't stop it now
'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Yes, I've been caught in the heat of the sun
Oh, let it shine on me

And I can see the fire on the water
Can't stop it now

And I can see the fire on the water
