lyrics

WHEN THE FIRE’S OUT

When the fire’s out and day is ending
And you’re going without
And you’ve stopped pretending
See the trees bow down in silhouette
The rain on the window will help you forget
When the fire’s out

When the truth is out and the game is over
And you just found out
That your world’s grown colder
See the trees bow down in fine array
The four winds carry the day away
When the truth is out

When you’ve stayed too long
In a house divided
And you’re feeling strong
But you’re undecided
When silver leaves shiver in the sun
You’ll know the change has finally come
When you’ve stayed too long
