I went looking for someone I left behind
A E
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
B7 A
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
E B7 E
The void between us where the flame turns blue
E A E
Different places, but they all look the same
A E
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
B7 A
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
E B7 E
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
E A E
Words dismantled and all the books unbound
A E
Conversations though we utter not a sound

I heard a rumor don't know if it's true

That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue

Oh, right now… (rest of verse Instrumental)

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
E B7 E
With a whistle and the flame turns blue
E A B7 E
In the morning I will sing
E A B7 E
In the morning I will sing
E A E
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
A E
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
B7 A
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
