That Old Flame Lyrics - Cass County - Don Henley

Got a message in my mailbox 

From an old friend I hardly see 

All it said was you were trying 

To get in touch with me 

And I stared down at your number 

And I felt passion and I felt fear 

And I wondered what the hell you wanted 

After all these years 

'Cause there is danger in the embers 

And you have only yourself to blame 

If you get burned when you try to rekindle 

That old flame 

Well I know we ended badly 

And I was angry for a long long time 

But I've grown some and I wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine 

And I'm not asking for a replay 

I got no delusions, got no designs 

Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness 

For Auld Lang Syne 

'Cause there is danger in the embers 

And you have only yourself to blame 

If you get burned when you try to rekindle 

That old flame 

Speak to me plain 

Tell me the truth 

Is it really me you miss 

Or just your long lost youth? 

Yeah there is danger in the embers 

And you know nothing, nothing stays the same 

Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle 

That old flame 

Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle 

That old flame
