The fields are burning out the back door
the screen door is flapping in the breeze
the land that we grew on is sounding it’s death rattle
and the house we loved in is breathing smoke like air
Here I’ll stay, waiting for our home to burn
watching the flames roll in like waves on the ocean
I’d rather go down with this ship
Than build another without you
These mountains groan with the weight
of the souls above them, and the bones below
I can see where your body flowered and grew
and became the mountain under my feet
Here I’ll stay, waiting for this place to burn
watching the flames roll in like waves on the ocean
I’d rather go down with this ship
than build another without you
Head to the stone and feet to the sun
I’ll lie here above you, like you laid with me
My bones will be swallowed by the earth
and together we’ll be this mountain forever
Here I’ll stay, waiting for this life to burn
watching the flames roll in like waves on the ocean
I’d rather go down with this ship
than build another without you
Here I’ll stay, waiting for our home to burn
watching the flames roll in like waves on the ocean
I’d rather go down with this ship
than build another without you
