Mary Lou Lord - His Lamest Flame Lyrics

The knees are bent and the hands are clasped
The painted head is bowed
A sudden glimpse through Heaven's gate
Is all that I'm allowed
My hair is black and eyes are green
But Marie is not my name

His lamest flame

His lamest flame will be
Too brief and burn too pale
And all attempts to fire it up again will fail

I run around behind his friends
And play the waiting game

His lamest flame

I tell myself a million times
There's nothing I can do
So why do I keep holding on
I only wish I knew
I was born too weak and I feel like a fool
But it's out of my domain

His lamest flame

His lamest flame will die
Before the night is out
Just a heap of ash
The wind has blown about

For him, these feelings fade away
But for me, they're still the same

His lamest flame

His lamest flame is here
And flickering its last
And through the dying light
We journey to the past
But still I'd give up all I've got
To have him back again

His lamest flame
