Ring of Fire
The Willis Clan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it makes a firery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When two hearts like ours meet
I fell just like a child
I fell into 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 ring of fire
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a firery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When two hearts like ours meet
I fell just like a child
Oh, and the flames 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
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
It burns, burns, burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
Woah (x4)
