The Old Flames Look So Bright

I lost you once But this I'll never lose My shirt is still rough And my hand's still smooth And I call out Like a bat But there's nothing but night And in the dark The old flames look so bright Like an addict who never Forgot where to look I cast off my hope And I closed my book And I walked Til my worries Were out of sight But after that relief The old flames looked so bright And I give to beggars And I give to my friends Take lots of advice And I make lots of amends And I look outside For someone Who'll understand And I give To my God No Peace And I need no rest I'm a man of my time I learned love was won With an axe to grind And I'm losing Every chance And I'm losing my sight But to these eyes The old flames look so bright Yeah to these eyes The old flames look so bright Oh to these eyes
