"My Flame Burns Blue" Lyrics

As the last light glimmers
And 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 start to
Tarry and pretend
My confidential friend
Will suddenly appear when you
All my might
Between velvet and dynamite
Blow out the doors
Let in the light
Falling dust in the beam
And small stiffled 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 temper 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
I won't be there
I won't
I won't
I won't
I won't be there
Funny the way that I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around...
