flame trees
Kids out driving Saturday afternoon pass 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 to 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 his name  And, 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 he won't be around  Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit, 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 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 he won't be around
