Fire burns at your fingertips  
Fire that leaps from your perfect lips  
Fire that heats all of what I am  
Fire that burns in your epigram  
  
At length, you and I are endlessly drawn  
You of the sun and I of the sea  
Slipping through sunsets and rising at dawn  
Flames crave to be quenched only by me  
  
Water drips from my eyes every night  
Water cleanses each burning, every harm, every slight  
Water connects me to all beings that are  
Water surrounds us, no matter how far  
  
Roil and boil in our yearning to grasp  
Groping to touch as distant hearts clasp  
Fire and water barely meeting, and then  
Into the ether, we rise again  
  
Fire burns at your fingertips  
Fire that leaps from your perfect lips  
Fire that heats all of what I am  
Fire that burns in your epigram  
  
As soft as I am when I wash over you  
As hard as I come when my fury's released  
I fall every day as the morning dew  
Wash again and again, my passion unceased  
  
Water drips from my eyes every night  
Water cleanses each burning, every harm, every slight  
Water connects all the beings that are  
Water surrounds us, no matter how far  
  
Can you claim what is mine with all your soul's heat?  
Can a sun claim an ocean and neither retreat?  
Can two beings so strong make a life that will last?  
Can two such hearts meet, make a love unsurpassed?  
  
Fire burns at your fingertips  
Fire that leaps from your perfect lips  
Fire that heats all of what I am  
Fire that burns in your epigram  
  
Heat me, embrace me with fires that burn  
I'll cool you with kisses, none sweeter than mine  
I hope and I wish and I want and I yearn  
Fire and water make a love genuine  
  
Water drips from my eyes every night  
Water cleanses each burning, every harm, every slight  
Water connects all the beings that are  
Water surrounds us, no matter how far
