Start a Fire

I was born a baby boy a long time ago

Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow

But the nights they fall and settle like snow

I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go

Oh, I think I'm gonna start a fire

Oh, I think I'm gonna start a fire

Well my heart's frozen lake where streams used to flow

Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow

Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows

The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go

Oh, I think I'm gonna start a fire

And oh, I think I'm gonna start a fire

And now my skin like these boulders is cracking and older

With each passing year that goes, my cliff face is crumbling

Silently tumbling down to the water below

And if I light a match I'll be able to catch the last sun before it goes

And oh, well I think I'm gonna start a fire

Oh, I think I'm gonna start a fire

And oh, oh, oh, I think I'm gonna start a fire now
