Swamp Fire Songtext
von Kay Starr

There′s a flame, I can't contain
That will rage in my heart
You come near, then I fear
′Cause I know it will start

Every time I cling
To the love you bring
There's that smoldering
Of that swamp fire
Like a fire, of desire
Blazing deep in your eyes

When I feel your embraces
I think of jungle places
My heart goes wild and races
With the fury of swamp fire

It folds me down and binds me
I'm in a fog that blinds me
Your burning love reminds me
That I′m caught in a swamp fire


There′s a flame, there's a flame
That I never will tame
You′re to blame, you're to blame
You′re the cause of the flame
That parades in my heart

You come near, then I fear
'Cause I know it will start
Every time I cling
To the love you bring
There′s the smoldering
Of the swamp fire

It'll burn, It'll burn
Gettin′ higher and higher
Like a fire, like a fire
With the heat of desire
Blazing deep in your eyes

Oh, what have I done?
Where can I run?
I′m in a swamp fire
Oh, I'm never free


Why must I be?
Caught in a swamp fire?
That′s where I gotta stay
I can't run away
From swamp fire
