Flame Trees

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon just pass me by And I'm just savouring familiar sights We shared some history, this town and I (you know we did) And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her And time to book a room and stay tonight (don't say I could stay at this places) And number one is to find some friends to say "You're doing well After all this time you boys look just the same" And number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?" And number three is never say her name And oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver And there's nothing else could set fire to this town And there's no change, there's no pace Everything within it's place Makes it harder to believe that she won't be around Oh! Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway? It takes more than just a memory, to make me cry I'm happy just to sit here, round this table with old friends See which one of us can tell the biggest lies And there's a girl, she's falling in love, near where the pianola stands With a young local factory out-of-worker, and you know they're just holding hands (like you do) And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day And oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver (oh oh oh) There's nothing else could set fire to this town And there's no change, there's no pace Everything within it's place (oo la la) Makes it harder to believe that she won't be around And oh the flame trees will blind the weary driver (oh oh oh) And there's nothing else could set fire to this town There's no change, there's no pace Everything within it's place Makes it harder to believe, she won't be around
