[04:05.34][00:07.71]
[00:10.00]When the wind picked up
[00:11.91]and the fire spread
[00:13.73]and the grapevines seemed left for dead.
[00:17.86]And the northern sky, like the end of day,
[00:21.60]the end of days.
[00:23.55]
[00:25.47]A wake up call to a rancid room
[00:28.87]Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
[00:33.10]To warn us it's only a matter of time.
[00:38.93]Before we all burn
[00:46.72]before we all burn
[00:54.43]before we all burn
[01:02.22]before we all burn.
[01:05.30]
[01:12.04]We bought some wine and some paper cups
[01:15.53]near your daughter's school when we picked her up
[01:19.78]and drove to a cemetery on a hill
[01:23.78]on a hill.
[01:25.61]
[01:27.52]And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
[01:31.24]and she laughed and dance through the field of grays
[01:35.30]there i knew it would be alright
[01:39.22]that everything would be alright,
[01:48.87]would be alright
[01:56.70]would be alright
[02:04.39]would be alright.
[02:07.37]
[02:14.13]and the news reports on the radio
[02:18.43]said it was getting worse
[02:21.84]as the ocean air fanned the flame.
[02:29.45]but i couldn't think of anywhere i would have rather been
[02:37.44]to watch it all burn away.
[02:43.23]to burn away.
[02:48.16]
[03:46.85]the firemen worked in double shifts,
[03:50.78]with prayers for rain on their lips
[03:54.82]and they knew it was only a matter of time.
