Blues Traveler - Crystal Flame lyrics

rate me

Music & Lyrics: Chan Kinchla & John Popper

Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf

Something soon will come my way

Never failing to amaze me

I feel its wisdom anyway

Rays of sweet illumination

Inspiration too untold

I hope some day I can befriend it

I think that comes with growing old

Crystal flame

I'll do anything you say

You're my heart and my mind and my soul

At least you fill them when I play

Light so bright it hypnotizes

But it never hurts to gaze

Never to burn or char with fire

Simply the heat from warmer days

And when the moment tends to savor

When the song is close at hand

That frozen ember fills my vision

Letting the brightness take command... take command

Crystal flame

I'll do anything you say

You're my heart and my mind and my soul

At least you fill them when I play

Please, please won't you take me away

It's easy, easy just let me play

Please, please won't you take me away

It's easy, easy just let me play

Sometimes its brilliance all around me

Sometimes its light I barely see

And though I utilize its grandeur

It does not belong to me

Cause all I can do is vague description

As I do my best to share

The smooth perfection I can only dream of

The flow of all the life that's there

Life that's there

Crystal flame

I'll do anything you say

You're my heart and my mind and my soul

At least you fill them when I play

Keep me safe and never lonely

Let the rain fall where it may

And let me find the peace within me

I can find it when I play

They say that solid wet or vapor

The only forms that are portrayed

To them I ask one burning question

Of what stuff are ideas made

Are they made?

Crystal flame

I'll do anything you say

You're my heart and my mind and my soul

At least you fill them when I play

Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf

Something soon will come my way
