Lyrics The Core - Eric Clapton

The Core

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.
