My Flame Burns Blue

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...
