David Gray
Flame Turns Blue
[Verse 1]
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn’t seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue

[Verse 2]
Different places but they all look much the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue

[Verse 3]
Words dismantlеd and all the books unbound
Conversations though we uttеr not a sound
I heard a rumor I don’t know if it’s true
That you’d meet me where the flame turns blue

[Verse 4]
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
With a whistle and the flame turns blue

[Bridge]
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don’t know what I’d do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if lost you I don’t know what I’d do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
