[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

Different places but they all look 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


[Verse 3]

Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound

Conversations though we utter not a sound

I heard a rumour I don’t know if it’s true

That you’d meet me where the flame turns blue


[Verse 4]

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 into

With a whistle and the flame turns blue


[Bridge]

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 lost you I don’t know what I’d do

Burn forever where the flame turns blue


[Outro]

In the morning I will sing

In the morning I will sing

In the morning I will sing

Sing
