Fires

The sky is glowing over us It would be beautiful, if it wasn't burning its way up the coast A quiet cloud falls over us The ash and the smoke sticks like chalk to our skin and our clothes We are on fire From the streets to our doors From the trees to the shores The fire burns on and on and on The world is growing tired of us We've taken for granted We've worn down and taken off years Are you watching over this Will love still get louder There's always a light to guide home I am like fire I can't catch my breath, no I can't catch my breath Fill up my lungs Let the air reach my mouth, reach my mouth
