Grapevine Fires Lyrics - Narrow Stairs - Death Cab For Cutie

When the wind picked up 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 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 papercups 

Near your daughter's school when we picked her up 

And drove to a cemetery on a hill 

On a hill.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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. 

Photos 

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.
