When the wind picked up, the fire spread
And the grapevines seemed _ left for dead
And the northern sky, looked like the end of days
The end of days

The 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]
Before we all [burn]
Before we all [burn]
Before we all [burn]

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
On a hill

We watched the plumes paint the sky gray
As she laughed and danced through the field of grapes
There I knew it would be alright
That everything

Would be al[right]
Would be al[right]
Would be al[right]
Would be alright

And the news reports
on the radio, said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames

But I couldn't think
of anywhere where I would have rather been
To watch it all burn away

To 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
