Lyric This Old Flame

(Reed Neilson)

Guess I should accept the call
But I really don t know what to say
The operator won t let me talk at all
And she says you want me to pay
Oh well it ain t nothin new
It fits right with my picture of you
But tonight you re gonna find out
What these tears are all about

CHORUS:
Cause This Old Flame went out
You never thought you d be the one
In the darkness now
I think you know what I m talkin about
This Old Flame went out

You went to get cigarettes
That was last July, you didn t get home yet
And now you expect me to hear you out
You call me collect, there ain t no doubt

REPEAT CHORUS

What do you mean, how can I do this to you?
Let s not forget who walked out on who

REPEAT CHORUS
