[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I woke, my head between by hands
The meaning of the day is lost on me
Well I can not remember when it got this bad
Another wasted day and a long black night
[Chorus]
Ah, careless love, my love, river of fire
Careless love is gonna take what it desires
When I breeze through the city, gonna make them see
I m a lost cause, I am free
[Verse 2]
Halfway home I felt the words roll out
Every heart gets stuck to a memory
Time is cruel, yes, but fate is too
Don t you drag me down with a heart untrue
[Chorus]
Ah, careless love, my love, river of fire
Careless love is gonna take what it desires
When I breeze through the city, gonna make them see
I m a lost cause, I am free
[Verse 3]
Now when the wind blows north it avoids my touch
No, it wants nothing to do with a fool like me
But I know I heard your spirit in a song
I ve been a long time leaving but I ll be a long time gone
[Chorus]
Ah, careless love, my love, river of fire
Careless love is gonna take what it desires
When I breeze through the city, gonna make them see
