This Flame Songtext
von Jules Shear

The only way you get old is from wishing
Never wishing is a waste of time
What are you gonna do about it?
It′s another mountain you won't climb

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

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


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 the law

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

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

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
