The first love I ever knew
Had summer in her hair
We walked along the waterfront
And watched the ships at sail
And when I turned to touch her face
She trembled like a wire
I knew she was full of easy fire
Easy fire
Later on I had a friend
With music in his soul
He heard the angel rhapsodies
They would not let him go
He'd set his hands to ivory
And send our spirits higher
We felt we'd been touched by easy fire
Easy fire
Burning and yearning
Easy fire
As I walk along these streets
And look in strangers' eyes
It seems to me that everyone
Is so dissatisfied
Who knows what makes the human heart
A furnace of desire
It leaps with the flames of easy fire
Easy fire
Burning and yearning
Easy fire
