paroles de chanson Flame Trees - Jimmy Barnes

Kids out driving, Saturday afternoon just pass me by
I'm just savouring familiar sights
We shared some history, this town and I
And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of her
It's time to book a room and stay tonight
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
And settle in to play "Do you remember so and so?"
And number three is never say her name
Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver
And there's nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there's no pace
Everything within its place
Just makes it harder to believe
She won't be around
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
And I'm happy just to sit here, 'round a table with old friends
And 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
Oh, they're just holding hands
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
Oh, the flame trees will blind the weary driver (oh-oh-oh)
And there's nothing else could set fire to the town
There's no change, there's no pace (ooh, la, la, la)
Everything within its place (ooh, la, la, la)
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won't be around
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 (ooh, la, la, la)
Everything within its place (ooh, la, la, la)
Just makes it harder to believe
She won't be around
