My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count) |
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 |
