Grapevine Fires
Death Cab For Cutie - 《Narrow Stairs》
and the grapevines seemed left for dead
And the northern sky like the end of day
A wake up call to a rancid room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time
We bought some wine and some paper cups
near your daughter's school when we picked her up
and drove to a cemetery on a hill
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
and she laughed and dance through the field of grays
there i knew it would be alright
that everything would be alright
and the news reports on the radio
said it was getting worse
as the ocean air fanned the flame
but i couldn't think of anywhere i would have rather been
to watch it all burn away
the firemen worked in double shifts
with prayers for rain on their lips
and they knew it was only a matter of time
