lyrics
When the wind picked up the fire spread
And the grapevine seemed left for dead
And the northern sky looked like the end of days
A wakeup call to a rented room sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us its only a matter of time
Before we all burn
We bought some wine and some paper cups near your daughter's school
when we picked her up and drove to a cemetery on a hill
Where we watched the plumes paint the sky grey as she laughed and danced
through the field of graves
And there u knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright
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 I would have rather been to watch it
all burn away
The firemen worked in double shifts with prayers for rain on their
lips and they knew it was only a matter if time
And the grapevine seemed left for dead
And the northern sky looked like the end of days
A wakeup call to a rented room sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us its only a matter of time
Before we all burn
We bought some wine and some paper cups near your daughter's school
when we picked her up and drove to a cemetery on a hill
Where we watched the plumes paint the sky grey as she laughed and danced
through the field of graves
And there u knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright
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 I would have rather been to watch it
all burn away
The firemen worked in double shifts with prayers for rain on their
lips and they knew it was only a matter if time
