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
 Twisted into my skin
 Wired to our cells
 One day, I tell you our body will break
 One day, I tell you 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
 The 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, I tell you our body will break
 One day, I tell you our hands will shake
