This Flame Lyrics by Jules Shear

One More Crooked Dance

2017

[Verse 1]
The only way you get old is from wishing
Never wishing is a waste of time
What are you going to do about it
It's another mountain you won't climb

[Verse 2]
It's all your world and that's the way you see it
There's one more warning no one's given you
There are lies upon the ground
And sometimes I can't tell them from the truth

[Chorus]
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
Until the stars stop shining this will always be our place
With a sack of bones all waiting to end
This flame will never burn out again

[Verse 3]
My mother one time learned it from her mother
Her mother one time learned it from her pa
Everything that floats in the darkness
Is a boat against that law

[Chorus]
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
Until the stars stop shining this will always be our place
With a sack of bones all waiting to end
This flame will never burn out again

[Verse 4]
The only way to get old is from wishing
Never wishing is a waste of time
I put it off long enough
'Til pretty soon it was no longer mine

[Chorus]
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
Until the stars stop shining this will always be our place
With a sack of bones all waiting to end
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
