I
Was sitting here thinking about some old times
About some old faces of flames
Suddenly old faces of passion
Inflamed my passion for old flames… sadly

Sad old faces of flames
…that burned but turned burnt
…that burned but turned blunt
Dreary old faces of flames
…that just flickered
…that breathed no fire
…that lingered only to extinguish
Gloomy old faces of flames
…that fanned no passion
…that burned passion
Pathetic old faces of flames
…that burned in vain
…that burned plain pain
Deceptive old faces of flames
…that pretended to be full of fire
…but were full of smoke
Sombre old faces of flames
…that flickered back and forth
…that expired without fire
Loathsome old faces of flames
…that exited with regret
…that gifted a hearty ache
Flames that fastened passion under lock and key before passing out

II
Was sitting here thinking about some old times
About some gladsome old faces of flames
Suddenly some old faces of passion
Inflamed my passion for old flames…gladly

From flames of deep passion
Gladly came an old flame that inflamed…gently
An old flame that held up a candle to my flame

A sunny old face of a flame
…that kept burning in the stormy wind
…that kept shinning in dark winds
A merry old face of a flame
…that tenderly inflamed passion
…that only fire could extinguish
A hearty old face of a flame
…that would not inflame just any
…but inflame yours truly only
A willing old face of a flame
…that always held up a burning oven
A burning flame of full fire
A flame that never was doused with another flame
That soul of a dame of a flame!
