CARESS THE FLAME

music & lyrics by Brian Nelson

Do you caress the flame, when I'm on fire
Do you feel the same, as I do
How can you stand so close, it burns you too
Are you the one that knows how to get me through
To the cool night air ?


For some times, it got lost when I felt like this
It cost what is cost, anyway
Now, through the heart of the summer, I can't cool down
I've touched the raging fever
Of this dying town on the edge

~

Oh, and when you look out your window
On this dying town
Do you feel you just can't win, so
Caress the flame and drown

~

When you caress the flame and you survive
You think it's just a game, that may be so
You sit through the dead of winter, you can't heat up
For still, that icy finger just won't give up on you now

~

And every time, you look out your window
On this dying town
Do you feel you just can't win? So
Caress the flame and drown
Caress it, caress the flame...
