Fire Dies Down -

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
