Kiss The Flame

I dug out an old Jewel CD today and as I listened to it I remembered about an old favourite song.

Please love let's make no impartial vow
Let all fall away that's not crucial now
I want a brave love, one that makes me week in the knees
I want a crazy, crazy love, one that makes me come undone at the seams

'Cause I'm tired of all these pilgrims, these puritans, these thieves
Of all these unbelievers who whittle love down at the knees
Let these swift roads destroy themselves, let the world fall into its sleep
For we shall be spared, we shall be left standing
To face what's left of concrete and honey

Kiss the Flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the Flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the Flame

There are nightmares on the sidewalks, there are jokes on tv
There are people selling thoughtlessness with such casualty
But where for art thou Romeo, where have all the brave men gone?
Show me one man who knows his own heart, to him I shall belong

Kiss the Flame
Let's run with the hunted, the untamed
Kiss the Flame
Embrace the faceless, the unnamed
Kiss the Flame


Please love, let's make no impartial vow
