Death Cab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires lyrics

Death Cab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires Lyrics

When the wind picked up - the fire spread

And the grapevines scene, left for dead

And the northern sky looked like the end of days

The end of days

A wake up call to a rented room

Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.

To warn us it's only a matter of time.

Before we all burn [4x]

We bought some wine and some paper cups

Near your daughter's school when we picked her up

And drove to the cemetery on a hill

On a hill

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray

And she laughed and danced through the field of graves

There I knew it would be alright

That everything would be alright

Would be alright

Would be alright

Would be alright

And the news reports on the radio

Said it was getting worse

Cause the ocean air fanned the flame

But I couldn't think there was anywhere I would have rather been

To watch it all burn away

To burn away

[CHOIR]

The firemen worked in double shifts

With prayers for rain on their lips

And they knew it was only a matter of time
