[Jessica Mauboy - Flame Trees lyrics]
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 it's 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 it's 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 it's place
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won't be around
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 it's 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
