Gray, David - Flame Turns Blue Lyrics






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

Different places yeah 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

Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue

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
And a whistle and the flame turns blue

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 I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue

In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

    The BEST, most talented male artist the UK has seen in recent times. Have every piece of work ever compiled by this literary genius. God bless David Gray.

    r.... ....

    @Rezaq1: I couldn't have sad it better. When I first heard this man back in 1999 it was the song 'Babylon' from the album 'White Ladders'. I was hooked from the start. I purchased his album 'Lost Songs 95-98' and that shit blew me the fuck away. I think this guy is the greatest Folk-Rock singer/song writer since Bob Dylan! I know I'll get flipped a lot of shit for that statement, but I just feel it's the damn truth. This man is a fuckin' genius thru and thru. Let's hope this man continues to be around for decades to come. Cheers!

  25. c.... ....

    Full of feelings..

  26. T.... M....

    bob Dylan was great to love to strum along with both

  27. D.... R....

    so i ventured
    underneath the leather sky
    see the freight train with its one fierce eye!
    and then i listen, as it tears the night in two
    with a whistle, where the flame turns blue!

    EPIC lines!

  28. E.... M....

    he sounds so much like Dylan 

    E.... M....

  30. A.... B....

    Rest in Peace Pat Rogers, BPD. :'(

  31. r.... ....

    David Gray is simply the best, most talented and yet most under-rated artist the UK has ever produced. I own his entire back catalogue. Why this guy didn't end up as big as some of the mainstream artists is an injustice to music lovers. Hope to see you return again soon David! You are a legend.

    r.... ....

    I Couldn't agree more 👌👌👌

  32. W.... ....

    Found this beautiful song thanks to movie Disco Pigs

  33. A.... B....

    Boston's Finest. ♥ RIP Myles Lawton's dad.
