Blue fire is the hottest part of the fire.

lyrics

Blue Fire (standard tuning, capo 5)

“why are you blue?” he asked me kindly
“i dunno,” i said “i dunno how to be free”
“the trees will guide me,
please don’t let me be,
sit next to me.”

“why are you sad?” he asked me kindly
“i dunno,” i said “i dunno how to be glad.”
“the sun on my head,
my mind’s been misled,
please hold my hand.”

chorus (instrumental)

“why are you blue? You know I love you!”
“i dunno, but I know that I love you, too!”
“sunlight keeps me warm
while in your arms
i’m safe from my storm.”

“why’s my mind like a deadly tiger?”
“i dunno,” he said, “but it’s a trained fighter!”
“you’re stronger than blue fire,
and born to inspire,
and one to admire.”

(outro)
finger picking

i am mine
he is his
we are ours
in the stars

i am fine, i’ll be just fine
he is fine, he’ll be just fine
we welcome our demons
on the road to freedom
because love conquers all.
