Flame Trees Lyrics

Jessica Mauboy

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 and 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 her name

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 she 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
And 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 she won't be around

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 she won't be around
