Power ballad. Full arrangement. Great guitar

Story behind the song
I wrote the lyrics around 2000/2001 and they have sat around like a lot of my stuff for a long time. I met Geoff and asked if he would collaborate with me as it was unfinished business. This is the first track from my forthcoming Heartsongs album. Produced at Wilson sounds Studio, Geoff also performs the vocal on this version.
Lyrics
Like a moth to a flame
Paul Parker copyright 2000
When your eyes met mine
I knew that I was lost
And I knew that I
Would soon be counting the cost
I knew right there
It was going to end right here
You say you saw me sigh
But you never knew my fear
CHORUS
Like a moth to a flame
I will call your name
I am destined to die in your arms tonight
Like a moth to a flame feels the joy and the pain
I surrender my life and soul
No strength
To take flight oh no
I know that I can't let you go
I just can't let you go
And you know
Oh you've broken me now
CHORUS
Time after rime
You accused me unfairly
And Time after time you were wrong
Night after night after night
I cried my tears alone
I could barely hold on
My resistance was gone.
CHORUS
Instrumental (guitar solo)
