Melting |
At the back of my grandmother’s house there was a hill |
With a tangled garden, thick and wild |
We used to go there, you and I, as children |
Slipping away from the aunts and uncles and their homemade brew |
We carried our ice creams in the summer sun |
Trying to make them last as long as we could |
Pretty soon they started to run |
Dripping down our arms, dripping on the ground |
Melting |
We sat under the trees smoking bark |
Lighting little fires and stompin' each one out |
As the summer went on the flames grew higher |
We just stared and stared and stared at everything melting |
Melting |
At the back of my grandmother’s house there was a hill |
Black and smoking at the end of the day |
We watched the fire trucks go back on down the road |
We heard them calling out our names |
We were standing in the shadows, melting |
Melting, melting |
Now my grandmother’s house is a supermarket |
And I’m far away, living in a colder city |
And tonight I’ve pulled the top off a bottle of beer |
And I’ve lit a fire and I’m staring, staring |
Where are you, where are you now? |
You’re melting, we’re all melting, melting, melting, melting |
