Harpin' Norm Lucien - Close to the Flame

Close to the flame!

Well I could jump in this ole' pick-up truck
Set it up just out a' town
Set it alight late at night
And watch the memories go down

I could paint the paper in the faded room
Where grandpa passed away
But where would I hang the ole' fiddle
He use to play and play

Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame

Now you may call me an insensitive, low down, son-of-a-gun
For this livin' in the past
But I'm the first to tell you if I ain't the first
Well I sure as hell ain't last!
Yeah! You 'bin puttin' down this one horse town
Your talkin' slick but thin
Nice to know who's side yer' on in this predicament I'm in

Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame

We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice

Well I think I'll take this 'ole pick up truck
And drive it into the ground
Have a lotta' laughs with family and friends
Spinning 'round and 'round

You may call it a waste of time
Free of responsibility
But life's gotta' be about the moment sometimes
And not just the mystery

Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame

We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice

Yeah! I think I'll take this ole' pick-up truck
And plant it out in the garden
Then I can tell my kids, who can tell their kids
Who can tell their kids, Who can tell their kids
That's where your mom and I had our first heart-to-heart in

Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
