As the last light glimmers
And the evening hours dim
Maybe I'm too proud to utter it out loud

Even though my flame burns blue

As the night's descending

Once again I find I'll tarry and pretend
My confidential friend
Will suddenly appear in view


All my might
Between velvet and dynamite

Blow out the doors
Let in the light
Falling dust in the beam

And a small stifled scream

Alibis and decoys

Were his eyes so turquoise?
Covered with a lash
They flatter and they flash

Even though my flame burns blue

If I seem a stranger

I feel far from danger
We tamper and we toy
With passion over joy

Even though my flame burns blue

Even though the fire that once was desire

Doesn't look for trouble or dare to flare
Look now
And I won't be there
