Death Cab For Cutie - "Grapevine Fires"

When the wind picked upand the fire spreadand the grapevines seemed left for dead.And the northern sky, like the end of day,the end of days.A wake up call to a rancid roomSounded like an alarm of impending doom.To warn us it's only a matter of time.Before we all burnbefore we all burnbefore we all burnbefore we all burn.I brought some wine and some paper cupsnear your daughter's school when we picked her upand drove to the cemetery on a hillon a hill.And we watched the plumes make the sky grayand she laughed and dance through the field of graysthere i knew it would be alrightthat everything would be alright,would be alrightwould be alrightwould be alright.and the news reports on the radiosaid it was getting worsecause the ocean air found the flame.but i couldn't think there was anywhere i would have rather beento watch it all burn away.to burn away.the firemen worked in double shifts,with prayers of rain on their lipsand they knew it was only a matter of time.
