Laura Veirs - Blue Fires lyrics

Why does the heart of the flame burn blue? Why do January cherries bloom? Why do blue fires burn in me Yet not in you? How can the prairie flocks keep their courses true And navigate the stars as they do? How do blue fires burn in me Yet not in you? You tell me you're here Your words are like fumes They just disappear Now all of the heat's Rushing out of the room The hottest part of the flame burns blue January cherries bloom Blue fires burn in me Yet not in you
