lyrics

(Waiting for the Fire)

do you remember
the echo of their laughter off the walls
up like an ember
the years have flown
but this old house has seen it all

birthday parties
bike rides, scraped knees
funny faces, hide-and-seek
messy hands and make believe

knock-knock, who's there
big dreams, no cares
pirate sword and fairy wings
don't forget the little things

it's a new year but it's
not the one we'd hoped for
watching for the wind
to blow it all away

waiting for the fire
praying for rain

smoke fills the island
but you and I, we're married to this earth
blood-red horizon
counting down
the time we have and what it's worth

packed up a few things
pictures, memories
letters from another time
pieces of a thousand lives

look back, love strong
don't take too long
but don't forget the little things

it's a new year but it's
not the one we'd hoped for
the burning sun has never
made me feel so small
watching for the wind
to blow it all away

waiting for the fire
praying for rain

sometimes I hear sirens in the night
I hold my breath till they disappear
sometimes I hear you sighing in your sleep

and I don't know what to save
the whole world changes in the blink of an eye
choose your future, it can all go up in flames

waiting for the fire
praying for rain
