Lyrics
Flint & Steel
Well I found my honey in the woods
And she's sweeter than that of any bee
Much sweeter than the purest amber syrup
From a Vermont sugar maple tree.
When I first saw her there we shared a blank stare
Wondering what's the other got up their sleeve
And after a few short days of your company
In true love I started to believe.
I found myself always wanting to sit beside you
In class or in the back of the van
Staying up all night or at least I tried to
Just to spend a little more time with you.
So I will be the flint if you will be the steel
Striking up against you is what I long to feel
We'll get the tinder glowing then add some kindling
And be warm next to the fire while we do our thing.
And its been so many years since I've fallen in love
But often I'd pray to the Lord up above
If its your will and she's out there please show me the way
To her open arms and warm heart some day.
On our last night together we finally embraced
We started holding hands and then my lips touched your face
For what felt like forever we shared that little space
Knowing that in a few hours we'd have to leave that place.
So I will be the flint if you will be the steel
Striking up against you is what I long to feel
We'll get the tinder glowing then add some kindling
And be warm next to the fire while we do our thing.
Now I'm back in the north country trying to occupy my time
But I've always got Carolina on my mind
Baby your a firework and I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I hope you had the time of your life
I know I had the time of my life
So I will be the flint if you will be the steel
Striking up against you is what I long to feel
We'll get the tinder glowing then add some kindling
And be warm next to the fire while we do our thing.
It was something unpredictable but in the end it was right
I know I had the time of my life
I hope you had the time of your life
So I will be the flint if you will be the steel
Striking up against you is what I long to feel
We'll get the tinder glowing then add some kindling
And be warm next to the fire while we do our thing
And be warm next to the fire while we do our thing.
