Grapevine Fires
When the wind picked up
The fire spread
And the grapevine seemed
left for dead
And the northern sky
looked 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
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
We bought 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
As she laughed and dance
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
As the ocean air fanned the
flames
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
