[00:00.00]Stolen Fire - Janis Ian
[00:04.49]Written by:Janis Ian
[00:08.98]When we kissed last night I knew the story
[00:13.25]It's the same old same old song
[00:17.74]We battled for the passion and the glory
[00:20.67]But we loved too long
[00:26.22]When the new wears off the weak ones fade
[00:30.38]Some whore moves in for the kill
[00:34.69]I could hear her thunder in the love we made
[00:40.05]I can hear it still
[00:43.32]It was singing in your veins every time you touched me
[00:47.54]It was written on your face when you said that you loved me
[00:52.04]You've been stealing fire
[00:55.86]You've been bringing it home
[00:58.39]Stoking the coals of desire
[01:02.12]Stolen fire I might have burned as bright
[01:06.98]But I could not hold a candle to that light
[01:10.64]Of stolen fire
[01:19.71]Was she all that good was I all that bad
[01:23.91]Did you have to take notes in the dark
[01:28.02]Have you taught her how to do all the things that I taught you
[01:33.33]Did our years leave a mark
[01:36.86]I know it's not cool to be angry I know it's so nineties to care
[01:45.29]But she ate from off my table she was treated like a sister
[01:49.75]Thought I knew her well but you knew her better
[01:54.25]You've been stealing fire
[01:57.93]You've been bringing it home
[02:00.53]Stoking the coals of desire
[02:04.26]Stolen fire I might have burned as bright
[02:09.02]But I could not hold a candle to that light
[02:12.76]Of stolen fire
[02:22.08]Shine on live your life as lovers
[02:29.87]Baby I'm gone who knows what I'll discover
[02:38.91]As the years get born your circles never close
[02:43.09]You will find some thorns in that innocent rose
[02:47.13]And you will pluck out her heart
[02:49.77]And she'll know what I'm feeling
[02:51.71]'Cause old habits die hard and
[02:54.20]You'll be stealing fire
[02:58.58]You'll be bringing it home
[03:00.46]Stoking the coals of desire
[03:04.21]Stolen fire she thinks she burns that bright
[03:09.03]But she can't hold a candle to that light
[03:12.70]No she'll never hold a candle to that light
