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
