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
