| You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists | 
| They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed. | 
| One day I might die, until then there’s too much to do | 
| But I’ll keep a bonfire for you. | 
| I’ve seen the pretty boys that you’re keeping around | 
| I know how it goes, I’ve got a girl in town. | 
| And she likes me enough to do what I like to do. | 
| But, I’ll keep a bonfire for you. | 
| Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch | 
| Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for | 
| Let the other lovers talk about who got what | 
| And who got burned and who got cut | 
| I’ll be in the orchard when you get tired | 
| Day after day of the shouts from the choir | 
| Eating the apples and eating the peaches, too | 
| And waiting by my bonfire for you. | 
| In the dark anybody will do for love | 
| But you’re the only one I want when the sun comes up | 
| No burning ball of fire set in the sky will do | 
| Next to my bonfire for you. | 
| Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch | 
| Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for | 
| Let the other lovers talk about who got what | 
| And who got burned and who got cut | 
| I need a little motion, need a little relief | 
| I get a little lonely at the end of the week | 
| And I want it so bad and if you want it so bad, too | 
| I’ll be over here with my bonfire for you. | 
| You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists | 
| They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed. | 
| One day I might die, until then there’s too much to do | 
| But I’ll keep a bonfire for you. |
