One spur in the fire, burning
Now we're clearing the embers away
There are many ways this way
So I tell you like you're meant to
And you're quick to guess my choice
Was it my trembling hand or my voice?
She said you're stirring
Tossing, turning
Just like you were in the night
I am sure your choice is right
I've always been a coward
Been a coward to this day
There are many ways this way
And your fortune taken from you
By men that always say
There are many ways this way
Now we're clearing the embers away
There are many ways this way
So I tell you like you're meant to
And you're quick to guess my choice
Was it my trembling hand or my voice?
She said you're stirring
Tossing, turning
Just like you were in the night
I am sure your choice is right
I've always been a coward
Been a coward to this day
There are many ways this way
And your fortune taken from you
By men that always say
There are many ways this way

I love this song... am I really the first to comment? I guess it's just about someone faced with a really big choice, like life ot death, and the thought of all the consequences that could occur are frightening him; the trembling hands. in the last lines, he doesn't feel wise yet and has some illusion that he can keep on doing what he's been doing: men saying there are many ways if he makes this choice seem like liars...
