Flame Trees

[00:08.88] Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pass me by
[00:16.62] I'm just savouring familiar sights
[00:24.55] We share some history, this town and I
[00:32.56] And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of him
[00:40.51] Time to book a room to stay tonight, mhm
[00:48.55] Number one is to find some friends to say, you're doing well
[00:56.45] After all this time, you boys look just the same, hmm
[01:04.54] Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels
[01:12.48] Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?", oh
[01:20.55] Number three is never say his name
[01:26.79] And, oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
[01:34.92] And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
[01:42.94] There's no change, there's no pace
[01:46.88] Everything within its place
[01:50.75] Just makes it harder to believe that he won't be around
[02:00.33] Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit, anyway
[02:08.43] You know it takes more than just a memory to make me cry
[02:16.08] And I'm happy just to sit here, round a table with old friends
[02:23.75] See which one of us can tell the biggest lies, ohh
[02:31.55] And there's a girl, she's falling in love near where the pianola stands
[02:40.37] With a young local factory out-of-worker, just holding hands
[02:46.92] And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
[02:54.11] Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field
[03:01.11] In our day
[03:05.04] Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver, mhm
[03:12.96] And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
[03:20.92] There's no change, there's no pace
[03:24.92] Everything within its place
[03:28.63] Just makes it harder to believe that he won't be around
[03:38.41]
