Lyrics

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 [voice]

Different places, well they all look much the same [yeah but]
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 rumor, I don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me when the flame turns blue [where]

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 [into]
With 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
