Don Walker - Flame Trees lyrics

Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pa** me by I'm just savouring familiar sights We share some history This town and I And I can't stop that long forgotten feeling of him 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" Number two is the happy hour at one of two hotels Settle in to play "Do you remember so and so? " 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 that she won't be around Oh, who needs that sentimental bullsh**, anyway You know 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 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 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 that she won't be around 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 that she won't be around
