Midnight Sun

I'm not a clover in the murky mire
I'm not a gold ring in the mud
Sadly sinking
I'm not a carnival balloon
Goin' down slow but soon
More like a chemical fire
Unrelenting

I'm not goin' down behind the mountain
I'm never gonna fade away
I'm burnin' like the midnight sun
I'm not gonna sink into the ocean
Baby, I'm here to stay
I'm burnin' like the midnight sun
Burnin' like the midnight sun
I'm not goin' down

I'm not a firefly flashing in the dark
I'm not a hot coal in the pit
Disintegrating
I'm not a whistling "Piccolo Pete"
Exploding in the street
More like a ruby-red star
Forever rising

I'm not goin' down behind the mountain
I'm never gonna fade away
I'm burnin' like the midnight sun
I'm not gonna sink into the ocean
Baby, I'm here to stay
I'm burnin' like the midnight sun
Burnin' like the midnight sun
I'm not goin' down
