Lyrics

I’m in love with the fireman’s daughter
Milk white her skin, and sea green her eyes
Her beauty reflects like the sun on the water
The fire of her hair could light up the night skies
Ooh it’s no surprise
I’m in love
I’m in love
She tosses her head and she laughs like a game
But the fire of her hair set my heart all aflame
Some day she’ll know my name
She goes for a ride by the fireman’s side
Admired and desired by the finest in town
He keeps her in sight, keeps her locked in at night
But with the city alight, he won’t let it burn down
Then he’s not around
I’m in love
I’m in love
She tosses her head and she laughs like a game
But the fire of her hair set my heart all aflame
Some day she’ll know my name
When at last her defenses had started to weaken
She fled to the convent high up on the hill
Our love could light up that place like a beacon
They say it won’t burn, but I bet that it will
I’ll give her such a thrill
I’m in love
I’m in love
She tosses her head and she laughs like a game
But the fire of her hair set my heart all aflame
Some day she’ll know my name
Alas and alack and a lass all in black
Hair in a veil and she’s standing alone
Bowed by the years and the rain and her tears
Water a garden of ashes and bone
She’ll read these words in stone
I’m in love
I’m in love
Oh she turns on her heel but she knows it’s in vain
For the fire of her hair set my heart all aflame
They say I was a monster, but I’m not to blame
For the fire of her hair set my heart all aflame
