Oh the flame in my heart
It burns for you, my love
Like a river, burning red
At the close of day

And the wheel of my life
It turns with yours, side by side
I have no choice
I simply love you that way

And it's like that
it's like this
It's exactly as it is
It's a natural affair, there's no mystery there
It's exactly as it is

I simply love you

And the healing light
From the blessed sun
still shines for you
My Beloved One
Shining on this river
Burning red
At the close of day

I've seen that river so still
I've seen it roaring in flood
You are the river, running in my blood
And I rejoice that I have loved you this way

And it's like that
Oh and it's like this
It's exactly as it is
It's a natural affair, there's no mystery there
It's exactly as it is

I simply love you
