lyrics

Real Thing
By Forrest Hill

Like a flower in the rain
I cover my pain
Sowing seeds of desire

I'm just a child who wants it all
Chasing waterfalls
Then watching the die

A shadow in time
In your enteral flame
The spark in the embers
The heart with no name

Your love's the real thing
Yeah, your love's the real thing
Uh, your love's the real thing
It's all I'll ever need

Treading softly in the night
I grab for the light
Like a moth circles fire

Morning lifts the creeping thorns
Again I'm reborn
Felling your embrace

Falling in grace
To your eternal flame
That burns off the ashes
Of this life you have saved

Your love's the real thing
Yeah, your love's the real thing
Uh, your love's the real thing
It's all I'll ever need

My mind is like a blistering storm
Craving for shadows, always crying for more
What’s real is the love in my heart
Here for you now, here from the start

Your love's the real thing
Yeah, your love's the real thing
Uh, your love's the real thing
It's all I'll ever need

Your love's the real thing
Yeah, your love's the real thing
Uh, your love's the real thing
It's all I'll ever need
