I Still Burn
The whole house is sleeping
But I'm wide awake
Suburban New Jersey
Just makes my soul ache
The big oak in the front yard
It calls me at night
Climb out of your window boy
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
I stare at the twinkling
Pin drops of dark
Dream of adventure
And my soul starts to spark
Now I've felt that calling
Ever since I was ten
I've got the same longing
That I had back then
Baby I, I still burn
Oh I, I still burn
Drove to California
Drawn to the beaches
Wizards and dancers
They were my teachers
And I found the magic
I dreamt of as a kid
I kept it so close
In everything I did
In everything I did
I dove into loving
Grateful and free
Fell for a poet
And she fell for me
We nested in the hillside
It was quite the nice life
I jammed with the jesters
Every Thursday night
But I, I still burned
Baby I, I still burn
When the gambler inside me
Started to stir
I said goodbye to the poet
Man, the rest is a blur
Slayed a few dragons
Thought I was so smart
But I ignored the fairy goddess
And she broke my heart
Yeah, she broke my heart
I kayaked a canyon
To get through the pain
Wandered in the mountains
Until I was sane
Let go of my empire
To free up my brain
I surfed with the dolphins
I danced in the rain
And I, I still burned
Baby I, I still burn
Back came the passion
I had before
I sang about longing
There's got to be more
More laughter, more loving
More music, more lust
And when I think of Brooklyn
I just have to blush
I just have to blush
I moved back to paradise
Started a clan
Let go of my armor
But I kept my band
And one day the music
Lit a fire in my soul
Took me 'round the world
Man it never gets old
Baby I, I still burn
Oh I, I still burn
Now some people are saying
It's time to slow down
Those are the people
I can't have around
All those adventures
I'll never forget
But the trees are still calling
And I'm not done yet
No I'm not done yet
I stand before you
With a piano and my art
Still sharing the wonder
That lives in this heart
Keep reaching skyward
The canopy of spirit
Echoing angels
Can you still hear it?
I do, and I still burn
Baby I, I still burn
Baby I, I still burn
Baby I, I still burn
But I'm wide awake
Suburban New Jersey
Just makes my soul ache
The big oak in the front yard
It calls me at night
Climb out of your window boy
Let's go for a ride
Let's go for a ride
I stare at the twinkling
Pin drops of dark
Dream of adventure
And my soul starts to spark
Now I've felt that calling
Ever since I was ten
