Grapevine Fires |
When the wind picked up And the fire spread |
And the grapevines seemed left for dead. |
And the northern sky, like the end of day, |
The end of days. |
A wake up call to a rancid room |
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom. |
To warn us it’s only a matter of time. |
Before we all burn |
I brought some wine and some papercups |
Near your daughter’s school when we picked her up And drove to the cemetary on a hill |
On a hill. |
And we watched the plumes make the sky gray |
And she laughed and dance through the field of grays |
There i knew it would 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 |
Cause the ocean air found the flame. |
But i couldn’t think there was anywhere i would have rather been |
To watch it all burn away. |
To burn away. |
The firemen worked in double shifts, |
With prayers of rain on their lips |
And they knew it was only a matter of time. |
