|
And the wind picked up, the fire spread |
|
And the grapevine seemed, left for dead |
|
And the northern sky looked |
|
Like the end of days, the end of days |
|
The wake up call to a rented room |
|
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom |
|
To warn us it's only a matter of time |
|
Before we all burn |
|
Before we all burn |
|
Before we all burn |
|
Before we all burn |
|
We bought some wine and some paper cups |
|
Near your daughter's school and we picked her up |
|
And drove to a cemetery on a hill, on a hill |
|
We watched the plumes paint the sky gray |
|
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves |
|
And there I knew we'd be alright |
|
That everything would be alright |
|
Would be alright |
|
Would be alright |
|
Would be alright |
|
And the news reports on the radio said it was getting worse |
|
As the ocean air fanned the flames |
|
But I couldn't think of anywhere, where I would've rather been |
|
To watch it all burn away |
|
To burn away, burn, burn, burn |
|
Burn, burn, burn |
|
The firemen worked in double shifts |
|
With prayers for rain on their lips |
|
They knew it was only a matter of time |
