Firebird - Why We Run

Candle light against the wall trapped in the dark

The fire alarm flashing red and black

Right above our house a firebird crossed the sky

And I know they’ll be back again

Carry your past behind

Bury your thoughts in wine

Bring everybody in your life

The world that you left behind

Lost in the golden mine

Tell everybody we’ll be fine

Whales are tired, tourists heading home

Closing down, the shutters on the streets

Right above our house a firebird crossed the sky

And I know they’ll be back again

Carry your past behind

Bury your thoughts in wine

Bring everybody in your life

The world that you left behind

Lost in the golden mine

Tell everybody we’ll be fine

Carry your past behind

Bury your thoughts in wine

Bring everybody in your life

The world that you left behind

Lost in the golden mine

Tell everybody we’ll be fine
