FLAME ON

Sheltering from the rain with a flame haired girl
Changing the sound of my name when she turned her flame on
Walking the long way home to keep thinking about her
Never hang up the phone till I knew she was gone

I breezed through every season with my flame haired girl
Explaining all the reasons I love her with a mumbled because
Never tire of her face caught in the glow of a fire
Can’t thank Speilberg enough that she was frightened of Jaws

Flame haired girl
Flame haired girl
Flame on

MIDDLE
Hiding on top of the world where no-one could find us
Stripped of all care that anyone else was around
My flame haired girl was using all her special powers
To take me up so high and keep my feet on the ground

Secret afternoons stolen with my flame haired girl
Reading my mind like the book she read too many times
She knew long before we ever got it together
That I was the fire that she was just waiting to light

Flame haired girl
Flame haired girl
Flame on

I can still feel the warmth of my flame haired girl
Smouldering safely inside even after so long
My flame haired girl you will always be here to remind me
And burning a hole in my heart when you turn your flame on
Burning a hole in my heart when you turn your flame on
Burning the whole of my heart when you turn your flame on

Flame on
