**DOE-EYED FIRE** **Verse 1** You move like an alluring doe And I’m the man you call your beau Trying not to spook your guarded heart There’s grace in the way you hide your face Like you’re afraid love might leave a trace Or tear your tender world apart **Pre-Chorus** So lend me your ear, let me draw you near I’ll steady your heart when it shakes with fear I’m still a hunter, but I ain’t chasing pain Trust in my aim, girl, love don’t lie I’ll guard your soul till the day I die And stand beside you through the flame **Chorus** You’re the fire in my blood tonight The spark in the dark, the slow burn light My hands in your hair, your breath on my skin You’re skittish, baby, but you still let me in No road’s too long, no night too wide Evermore, I’ll be by your side And this love we’ve found won’t fade, won’t fall It’ll rise like smoke and outlast it all **Verse 2** There’s a wildness in the way you stay Like you might run, but you never stray And I know what trust has cost your heart But by my hand, you won’t be misled No careless words, no empty bed No love that leaves you in the dark **Pre-Chorus** What we’ve built, we built on faith Through every storm and every ache Two clear minds and one sacred vow With the Lord above and our hands held tight We walk through shadow, we hold to light And I ain’t letting go of you now **Chorus** You’re the fire in my blood tonight The spark in the dark, the slow burn light My hands in your hair, your breath on my skin You’re skittish, baby, but you still let me in No road’s too long, no night too wide Evermore, I’ll be by your side And this love we’ve found won’t fade, won’t fall It’ll rise like smoke and outlast it all **Bridge** It’s just the nature of the beast Fear comes hungry when darkness feeds Trying to swallow the beauty of it all But as long as we stand, hand in hand Side by side on solid land The truth of our love will never fall **Final Chorus** You’re the fire in my blood tonight The spark in the dark, the slow burn light My hands in your hair, your breath on my skin You’re skittish, baby, but you still let me in No road’s too long, no night too wide Evermore, I’ll be by your side With faith above us and love through it all The truth of our love will never fall **Outro** No, it won’t fade No, it won’t die You’re my doe-eyed fire Burning for life
