Flame

So close and yet so smart Head first before the heart Ain't no shame Ain't no game With the flame Coldwaters rush in March No place for April flowers Take her name Say she came With the flame I've been told when the stars all align That even bitter lips like mine Will call the moon a friend and kiss again Some I'm told let their hearts read the signs While other men are hungerin' And can't let it in Be still my foolish heart Please don't upset the cart Stay the same Ain't no game With the flame I've been told I'll be dancin in time Walkin' rhythm', talkin' rhyme The earth will turn and send the sun again All my gold for a light or a sign Some kind of kin to say my friend Let it out - let it in Strange fire down below So 'fraid to let you know Change my name Start the game With the flame Strange fire down below So 'fraid to let you know Change my name Start again With the flame The flame The flame --- Flame - Al Jarreau
