The Flame

So close to the fire, closer to the flame
Tell yourself that it’s for warmth and none more selfish reason
Move closer to that man though he’s not the one you love
Bring that flame close to your chest and let it burn you up
Oh darlin' one, where do you sleep at night?
What pleasure did you come to know into the morning light?
won’t show the truth of your cheating, sinning life
So Darlin', won’t you tell me now, where do you sleep at night?
Every night I lie awake when you are far away
Wond’ring if you’re all alone or somewhere entertaining
From my friends I’ve heard such whispers to make my blood run cold
Are you in a stranger’s arms? — or worse, is it someone I know?
Oh darlin' one, where do you sleep at night?
What pleasure did you come to know into the morning light?
won’t show the truth of your cheating, sinning life
So Darlin', won’t you tell me now, where do you sleep at night?
Darlin', won’t you tell me now, where do you sleep at night?
