26.The Core
Lyrics：Eric Clapton／Marcy Levy
Music：Eric Clapton／Marcy Levy
Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally
surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and
worry.
Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.
If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close
to my sight.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the
sea.
'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all
around me.
Chorus
It is burning.
It is burning.
You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our
sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, 'One thing you must bear in your mind：
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in
your own lifetime.'
Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.
It is burning.
It is burning.
