My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count)
As the last light glimmers
And the 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 find I'll tarry and pretend
My confidential friend
Will suddenly appear in view
All my might
Between velvet and dynamite
Blow out the doors
Let in the light
Falling dust in the beam
And a small stifled 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 tamper 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
