Close to the flame

Yeah, hold on
Sometimes there are things
You can only tell a stranger
And we all have our demons
That's something i know about
And you remember the first time
You saw her
Her hair was more than blonde, man
It was white
And you remember the smell
Of her sweet perfume
And the sounds from the engines
And the tail lights
As she pulled out of sight

Oh, you try to hold on
When something is gone away
For good
Out in the rain
How can you face the night again?

Her voice is calling to you
Pulling you close to the flame
Never surrender
When you can hold on
Places where no one
Remembers your name
And your living on the edge
Close to the flame

And you're standing on the side of the road, man
And i mean you're watching
The cars pass you by
Just wondering where they're going
Ooh-ooh, yeah, fighting the feeling
And you're living out in the street man
And i mean there's nothing
Over your head
But the sky
And the rain comes down
And slaps you up
And slaps you on the face

You try to be strong
When something is gone away
For good
Out in the rain,
How can you face the night again?

Her voice is calling to you
Pulling you close to the flame
Never surrender when you can hold on
Places where no one remembers you name
And your living on the edge
Close to the flame
