Roger Chapman Running With The Flame Lyrics

Running with the flame
An arm raised in greeting to another friendly face
There may never be another
Salute the brave - running with the flame

Running with the flame
A girl and boy are laughing down a sleepy lover's game
In an open Chevvy
Salute the brave - running with the flame

Running with the flame
Drifting out of focus like a sleepy lover's game
Then waking to each other - two gentle hearts at play
Salute the brave - running with the flame
Run the jaguar, straining at the leash
Ride a dolphin down to the bottom the deep
In days of trouble, arrows of despair Take up the flame - hold it in the air

Running with the flame
A spirit lights a candle on an unmarked open grave
It seems we've lost another
Salute the brave - running with the flame

Running with the flame
A broken heart is shattered in a thousand different ways
Where once there was a lover
Salute the brave - running with the flame

Running with the flame
A baby cries, a mother dries its salty tears away
Will there be a future -
Oh gentle heart explain
Salute the brave - running with the flame
