The Core lyrics by Eric Clapton
Every morning when I wakea feeling soon begins
to overtake me
Ringing in my ears
resounds through my brain
it finally surrounds me
There is fire and there is life,
there is passion,
fever and fury and
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 everyday
a fire alarm is deafening
the silence all around me
Oh, I am a flame
feel it touch my heart
And down at my core
is the hottest part
I can run without fear
Well, You can trust me
we can laugh
Together we can
share our sorrow
I will keep your 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
