“Flames”

[Vs1 -MAN]

This summer night is whistling through lovesick Southern air –

Midnight streaks are racing ‘cross your velvet silky hair –

I will hold this moment so I’ll always find you there –

Burning with the flames from you and I…

[Vs2 - WOMAN]

Your smile is the magic that unleashes my heart’s beat –

Your whispers hold passions of where we both should be –

Every star is watching as you’re melting holding me –

Melting in the flames from you and I…

CHORUS

Our flames will never hurt us,

Our flames will never die;

Our flames are made to show us,

Only our flames satisfy –

[Vs3 - WOMAN]

With this love we're boiling the entire atmosphere –

Falling stars are signals that there’s much more far from here –

Let’s take that darkened highway while these passions try to steer –

Steering with the flames from you and I…

[Vs4 - MAN]

Your golden legs are acting as the moonlight’s only guide –

There’s nothing left to guess here and there’s nothing left to hide –

Our full embrace is telling us we’re in it for the ride –

Riding with the flames from you and I…

CHORUS

Our flames will never hurt us,

Our flames will never die;

Our flames are made to show us,

Only our flames satisfy –

[OPTIONAL BRIDGE - BOTH]

That’s horizon’s getting hotter,

It’s just about to blow;

The heat is slowly rising as we near its red hot glow…

We’ll set the world on fire and everyone will know…

CHORUS

Our flames will never hurt us,

Our flames will never die;

Our flames are like a wildfire,

Torching every sky;

Our flames are made to show us,

Only our flames satisfy –

All this blazing love is simply, 

Flames from you and I...

[Vs1]

You were moving like a breeze, on a moonlit river summer night,
I couldn't help but wonder, how could a moment be that right;
Those memories stayed with me, like hands on a clock that's cracked,
If I could I'd say a prayer, to make those days come running back...

CHORUS
I miss the pitter patter of the dancing rain,
Across your bedroom window -
And how the winds of Amsterdam 

Would blow your hair so beautiful and free...
But every midnight whistle of a distant train,
Reminded me I had to go -
Right through the winds of Amsterdam 

I used to wish would bring you home with me...

[Vs2]
In your smile was a kiss, that melted the whole world away,
Every glance inside your eyes, saw you still holding me today...
I can't help but wonder, if you see the moon that I see now,
'Cause it's just asking questions, that all these miles can't allow...

CHORUS
I miss the pitter patter of the dancing rain,
Across your bedroom window -
And how the winds of Amsterdam 

Would blow your hair so beautiful and free...
But every midnight whistle of a distant train,
Reminded me I had to go -
Right through the winds of Amsterdam 

I used to wish would bring you home with me...

[BRIDGE]
Tonight has bred confusion,
As the feelings trickle in,
What would happen if I dropped it all, 

And went back there to you...
But it strikes as no surprise,
I'm now done with fool's goodbyes,
I'll run out and find that tired train, 

And let those winds do what they do...

CHORUS 2
I miss the pitter patter of the dancing rain,
Across your bedroom window -
And how the winds of Amsterdam would blow your hair so beautiful and free...
But every midnight whistle of a distant train,
Reminded me I had to go -
Right through the winds of Amsterdam... I used to wish you'd go away with me;
Right through the winds of Amsterdam

Tonight you'll be holding on to me.

[Vs1]

Mosquitoes circlin' your front porch light,

Full moon floats in a foggy flight,

Your eyes melt all my feelings up in smoke;

Front yard swing swaying in the breeze,

Warm summer night whistles through oak trees,

Your red hot lips set fire to the words I spoke…

CHORUS

I need a little more than screen door kisses;

Our love's a little young but so ambitious;

If you open that door we’ll burn the road all up tonight -

That old screen door...will not miss us.

[Vs2]

Magnolias bring a sweet smelling song,

Every star begs us to move on,

So grab my hand – let’s take this lovers’ ride;

Your smile is giving your dreams away,

It’s time to open a brand new day,

Take one more step, you'll find those stars are right...

CHORUS

I need a little more than screen door kisses;

Our love's a little young but so ambitious;

If you open that door we’ll burn the road all up tonight -

That old screen door...will not miss us.

[BRIDGE]

You bust that door and jump inside this old car of mine...

You hold me tight just like two words written to rhyme... 

Hey darlin, now these wheels are gonna fly...

CHORUS

I need a little more than screen door kisses;

Our love's a little young but so ambitious;

If you open that door we’ll burn the road all up tonight -

That old screen door...will not miss us.
