The fire died down
Carried it there into the house
Unclose your eyes
Let it all glow
One day this body will break,
One day these hands will shake.
I'm watching the grass glow
Shining through the dead leaves
Arched back and slow
Your plow in the snow
So let it all glow,
While the fire dies down.
Your clothes they have grown since I saw you last.
Summer makes us all into a soft knife in your hands.
Twist it into my skin
Wire to our cells?
One day our body will break,
One day our hands will shake.
Summer lightening spit me out
Onto the wet grass
Climb onto its back
Your smile, broken glass
Cold hands following down
No one's left warm
So let it all glow,
While the fire dies down.
Fire dies down
build a home in the ground
Let light in through the holes in the ceiling
Something to believe in
Let it all glow
Your name on fire and snow
One day our bodies will break,
One day our hands will shake.
