Title: Grapevine Fires
Lyrics Grapevine FiresWhen the wind picked up
The fire spread
And the grapevines 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 [4x]
We 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 paint the sky gray
And she laughed and danced through the field of graves,
And 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 of anywhere
i would have rather been,
To watch it all burn away.
To burn away.
Burn (3x)
The firemen worked
in double shifts,
With prayers of rain
on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time. |
