Flame

So close and yet so smart

Head first before the heart

Ain't no shame

Ain't no game

With the flame



Coldwaters rush in March

No place for April flowers

Take her name

Say she came

With the flame



I've been told

When the stars all align

That even bitter lips like mine

Will call the moon a friend & kiss again

Some I'm told

Let their hearts read the signs

While other men are hungerin

And can't let it in



Be still my foolish heart

Please don't upset the cart

Stay the same

Ain't no game

With the flame



I've been told

I'll be dancin in time

Walkin rhythm talkin rhyme

The earth will turn and send the sun again

All my gold

For a light or a sign

Some kind of kin

To say my friend

Let it out - let it in



Strange fire down below

So 'fraid to let you know

Change my name

Start again

With the flame



Strange fire down below

So fraid to let you know

Change my name

Start again

With the flame

The flame (2x)
