My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count) Lyrics by Darius de Haas

Day Dream: Variations on Strayhorn

2002

[Verse 1]
As the last light glimmers
And evening hours dim
Maybe I'm too proud to utter it out loud
Even though my flame burns blue
[Verse 2]
As the night's descending
Once again I start to
Tarry and pretend my confidential friend
Will suddenly appear when you
[Bridge]
All my might
Between velvet and dynamite
Blow out the doors, let in the light
Falling dust in the beam and small stifled screams
[Verse 3]
Alibis and decoys
Were his eyes so turquoise?
Covered with a lash they flatter and they flash
Even though my flame burns blue
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 4]
If I seem a stranger
I feel far from danger
We temper and we toy with passion over joy
Even though my flame burns blue
[Outro]
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
I won't be there
I won't, I won't, I won't
I won't be there
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Funny the way that I feel now
Can't keep my feet on the ground
Everything seems unreal now
When you're not around
