Mary Chapin Carpenter - A Keeper for Every Flame [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
She says it's been so long she can't remember when
The mention of his name didn't make her feel again
That everything is possible and everyday a brand new start
Yea love's something powerful when it finds a willing heart

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's a fire burning out of control
Sometimes it's a candle burning long and low
All these years she never let it go
There's a keeper for every flame

[Verse 2]
There was someone in his past
That he hasn't gotten over yet
Each day's like the last
He just misses what he can't forget
It's just an empty space
Where something used to be
Now he guards the gate but he's lost the key
So no one enters but no one leaves
There's a keeper for every flame
I thought my heart had broken
But it was just a little bruised
I thought love had spoken
I guess I was just confused

[Chorus]
