Ring of Fire
1814 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bound by wild desire I fell in a ring of fire
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went dow down down
as the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns,
the ring of fire, the ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you just like a child
Oh oh but the fire went wild
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down down down
as the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you just like a child
But the fire went wild
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down down down
As the flames went higher
Burn burn burn the ring of fire
The ring of fire x3
Ring-a ring-a ring-a fire x4
