When 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
A 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
ย
Before we all burn
ย
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
ย
We bought some wine and some papercups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery 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
There I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright
ย
And the news reports on the radio
Said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
ย
But I couldn't think of anywhere I would have rather been
To watch it all burn away
To burn away
ย
The firemen worked in double shifts,
With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time
ย
