Let a boy and he asked me to marry
He walked right out of a dream
He swept me breathless off my feet
like a leaf in a stream
When he laughed there was
pain in his laughter
An d there I seen or said
If I could drive her out of his mind,
help him to forget
Our eyes were strange as
they never would meet
In the dark you would call our name
I knew it would end for the worse,
for the worse
We were in love with the flame
He spent all his time with a memory
And he left me so alone
A lover's voice would call him,
call him to come home
High on a hill he would wander,
and he gazed so steadily
Looking for that one thing,
forever out of reach
Our eyes were strange as they
never would meet
And the dog he would call her name
I knew it would end for the worse,
for the worse
We were in love with the flame
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na, na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na
La -la -la -la
Love is a reckless companion
And won't let you sleep at night
Leaves you to stumble,
blood you with tears
Our eyes were strange as they
never would meet
And the donkey would call her name
I knew it would end for the worse,
for the worse
We were in love with the flame
Our eyes were strange as they
never would meet
And the donkey would call her name
I knew it would end for the worse,
for the worse
We were blind to each other
in love with the flame
Blind to each other in
love with the flame
Blind to each other in love with the flame
You
