Always the Song - Tony Joe White

I remember the first time we touched we almost caught fire

Right there in the middle of night we almost caught fire

Burning each other down and the feeling went on and on

And somewhere in the background always the song

It's always there between us so strong it never breaks

Pulling us together sometimes when there's no other way

I wonder if it's more than fire

That's kept us together so long

All the way down through our lives always the song

Baby you're good for me and that's all I've got to say

And all the times we've been

Through you've been a woman all the way

You know when I've been wounded

And I need a place to hide

You see me walking straight up but you know I'm bending inside

Try to help me handle the

Pain when someone I love has gone

And somewhere way out in the rain always the song
