When did it begin
It started just as a warmth deep within
At first just a flame
Both gentle and tame
When I gave her my heart
With a vow never to part
No, no
Along came Jim
Who I thought was my best friend
So, I introduced him
No one committed a sin
‘Kavorka’ just crept in
Through the lure of the beast
Crept in from the East
Always destined to win
Now it’s coming again
Deep down gnawing
Consuming everything
Burning within, deep down within
Now on my own
It cuts to the bone
And now it’s been thrown
Should I have cast the first stone
Could I really blame old Jim
It was the ‘Karvorka’ in him
Still smouldering
It’s started again
Burning within.
