about

Quirky Jazz/Torch song (a lá Mel Torme) with a slightly unusual twist (a lá Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factor/Sparks!!)

lyrics

(Oh my goodness what a mess I have got myself in...now)

I could be walking the streets
In the city at night
When I catch a shadow
Cast on the wall
A shape so familiar
And not unlike mine
Makes me freeze in my tracks
For a moment in time

But in my solitude
Ever increasing
Memories surface
While reality's sinking
A face that I knew
That I loved for a season
Will keep coming back
With no rhyme or no reason

Old flames
I can never put out.

I could be stood on the pier
As the sun melts away
When the scent of cologne
Seems to dance on the breeze
A style so familiar
But not one I wear
Makes me turn my head quickly
But nobody's there

And in my solitude
Ever increasing
Memories surface
While reality's sinking
A face I once knew
That I loved for a season
Will keep coming back
With no rhyme or no reason

Old flames
I can never put out

(Music)

Old Flames
I can never put out

I could be drowning my sorrows
While I'm stood at the bar
When a voice in the crowd
Rises above the din
A sound so familiar
But different to me
Makes my lonely old heart
Beat erratically

And in my solitude
Ever increasing
Memories surface
While reality's sinking
A face I once knew
That I loved for a season
Will keep coming back
With no rhyme or no reason

Old flames
That never die out.
