David Gray - Flame Turns Blue Lyrics
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
And a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing

David Gray Flame Turns Blue Comments
My fav from David, really brilliant song :)
Easily my favorite David Gray song. It means a lot to me.
Fuck: I forget; he was good, wasn't he!
My dad used to play this song to me every night when I was a baby and I would fall asleep.
I still listen to it every night 10 yeare later
I would really like for once to learn the lesson of profound kindness
I helped out a friend the past 23 months coz his last gf financial screwed him over, he was going to loose his house, i paid rent for a room & he was suicidal, he has a new wife from another country
& I'm going to be couch surfing in about 12 days, no option to go on periodic lease says the wife that if I didn't pay rent he would have never had the funds to travel to the phillipeens to meet his mail order bride, been friends for 11 yrs, well I met his true colours, no wonder I was the only one to help him....flame turns blue hey, he also has a full time job & I'm on disability benefits, yep screwed at the first chance he/they had
If stranded on an island for the rest of my life with only one song to choose this would be it
Just tears xxxxxx
This song helped with my brother suffering from cancer in another country, which I could not go to visit. This song is amazing and will remind me of my brother for for ever. Thank you David you and your band are amazing.

Miss you so much BellaRosa and Bling boy- heart can't take anymore.
Heard it last night for the first time at his Sydney concert. What a song
Heard it at a summer concert,never forget it.
Magic! This is the song that started a lifetime love and appreciation for this man and his music. Always something new in his lyrics and the whole "feel' of his music is so healing and comforting and empowering. I agree with so many of the positive comments below.....just Magic!
Wombat Care Bundanoon agreed
Probably listen to David Gray almost every day. Awesome .
Good song
The beauty of this album was that it was first only released in Ireland for the irish fans because for some reason we just clicked with him as an artist & White ladder went to number 1 in Ireland!!! Nowhere else!! So David released lost songs as a thank you to the Irish fans & then released it somtime later to the wider audience!!!
this song has been a companion to me through so much
Really pulls at my heart strings.
Well fuck ...... he can be so proud to have produced this at least .. incredible ..
im astounded that this album hasnt had more views..its out of this world..just beautiful...
Lucy Edwards well said lucy
Greatest lyricist since Bob Dylan
still one of the best songs he ever wrote, love, emotion, says what we have all felt at some time in our lives with a haunting melody and voice, once heard, forever in your heart.
awesome artists
Disco Pigs!
I'm in collision, with every stone I ever through, and blind ambition ,where the flame turns blue.....
Sheer brilliance in one line, David gray is so utterly genious
Eli c. It is lyrically masterful and one that really sticks with you. Fantastic talent David Gray
This album is not new in 2014... maybe new to Amazon and others... David Gray rocks way before the album Draw The Line which put him up on the new stage where he has always belonged
Such a beautiful song.
This song helped me through so many bad times. Thank you xx
