Lyrics Always the Song - Tony Joe White

Always the Song

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
You try to help me handle the pain when someone I love has gone
And somewhere way out in the rain always the song
