The Old Flames Look So Bright

about

I'll get out of the way.

lyrics

I lost you once
now this I'll never lose
My shirt is still rough
and my hand is still smooth
And I call out like a bat
but there's nothing but night
And in the dark
the old flames look so bright

Like an addict who never
forgets where to look
I cast off my rope
and I closed by book
And I walked til my worries
were out of sight
But after that relief
the old flames look so bright

And I give to beggars and I give to my friends
I take lots of advice and I make lots of amends
And I look outside for someone who will understand
And I give to my god no peace

And I need no rest
I'm a man of my time
I learned love was won
with an axe to grind
And I'm losing every chance
and I'm losing my sight
But to these eyes
the old flames
look so bright...
