This Flame

The only way you get old is from wishing
Never wishing is a waste of time
What are you going to do about it
It’s another mountain you won’t climb
It’s all your world and that’s the way you see it
There’s one more warning no one’s given you
There are lies upon the ground
And sometimes I can’t tell them from the truth
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
Until the stars stop shining this will always be our place
With a sack of bones all waiting to end
This flame will never burn out again
My mother one time learned it from her mother
Her mother one time learned it from her pa
Everything that floats in the darkness
Is a boat against that law
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
Until the stars stop shining this will always be our place
With a sack of bones all waiting to end
This flame will never burn out again
The only way to get old is from wishing
Never wishing is a waste of time
I put it off long enough
'Til pretty soon it was no longer mine
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
Until the stars stop shining this will always be our place
With a sack of bones all waiting to end
This flame will never burn out again
This flame will never burn out again
