Flame Turns Blue - David Gray

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

Different places yeah but they all look 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

Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound

Conversations though we utter not a sound

I heard a rumour don’t know if it’s true

That you’d meet me where the flame turns blue

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

And a whistle and the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing

In the morning I will sing

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 I lost you I don’t know what I’d do

Burn forever where the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing

In the morning I will sing

In the morning I will sing
