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 days The end of days And 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 Before we all burn Before we all burn Before we all burn 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, on a hill We watched the plumes paint the sky gray She laughed and danced through the field of graves And there I knew it would be all right That everything would be all right Would be all right Would be all right Would be all right Would be all right And 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've rather been To watch it all burn away Burn away Burn Burn Burn Burn Burn Burn And the firemen worked in double shifts With prayers for rain on their lips And they knew it was only a matter of time
