Lyrics

0:01Death Cab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires
0:10When the wind picked up
0:12And the fire spread
0:13And the grapevines seemed left for dead
0:17And the northern sky like the end of day
0:21The end of days
0:25A wake up call to a rancid room
0:28Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
0:32To warn us it's only a matter of time
0:38Before we all burn
0:46Before we all burn
0:54Before we all burn
1:02Before we all burn
1:11We bought some wine and some paper cups
1:15Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
1:19And drove to a cemetery on a hill
1:23On a hill
1:27And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
1:30And she laughed and dance through the field of grays
1:34There i knew it would be alright
1:39That everything would be alright
1:48Would be alright
1:56Would be alright
2:04Would be alright
2:13And the news reports on the radio
2:17Said it was getting worse
2:21As the ocean air fanned the flame
2:29But i couldn't think of anywhere i would have rather been
2:37To watch it all burn away
2:43To burn away
3:47The firemen worked in double shifts
3:51With prayers for rain on their lips
3:55And they knew it was only a matter of time
Death Cab For Cutie - Grapevine Fires
When the wind picked up
And the fire spread
And 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 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
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
Would be alright
Would be alright
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
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
