Flame

Flame - Al Jarreau/Metropole Orkest/Vince Mendoza

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 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

I'll be change

In the flame

Strange fire down below

So 'fraid to let you know

Change my name

The flame
