| As the last light glimmers |
| And the evening hours dim |
| Maybe i’m too proud to utter it out loud |
| Even though my flame burns blue |
| As the night’s descending |
| Once again i find i’ll tarry and pretend |
| My confidential friend |
| Will suddenly appear in view |
| All my might |
| Between velvet and dynamite |
| Blow out the doors |
| Let in the light |
| Falling dust in the beam |
| And a small stifled scream |
| Alibis and decoys |
| Were his eyes so turquoise? |
| Covered with a lash |
| They flatter and they flash |
| Even though my flame burns blue |
| If i seem a stranger |
| I feel far from danger |
| We tamper and we toy |
| With passion over joy |
| Even though my flame burns blue |
| Even though the fire that once was desire |
| Doesn’t look for trouble or dare to flare |
| Look now |
| And i won’t be there |
