The Core Lyrics - Slowhand - Eric Clapton

by Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy 

Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me. 

Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me. 

There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury. 

There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry. 

Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart. 

And down at my core is the hottest part. 

I can run without fear. 

If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite. 

Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight. 

No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea. 

'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.

Chorus 

It is burning. 

It is burning. 

You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow. 

I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow. 

Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind: 

You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."

Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart. 

And down at the core is the hottest part. 

We can run without fear. 

It is burning. 

It is burning.
