Flame Turns Blue
February 5

Home

For the "Four Color February",
"February Heart Songs" and
"Warmth" Thursday challenges.

Trying to hit all three in one, I took some real liberties ;-)

David Gray- Flame Turns Blue

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 voice between us where the flame turns blue

Different places, yeah but they all look much the same
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 where the flame turns blue

So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with it's one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night 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

I think they call this one a Trifecta? or a Triple run? Three strikes? Things always happen in threes? Have you ever combined four challenges in one shot?????
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! V

Great fulfillment of all three!
