The Fire Lyrics by Cat Dowling

Animals

0

Save her from the fire
You watched it all on high
You didn't say goodbye
Never got to cry

For their sake be tough
Boys must play it rough
You gotta be a man, child
And leave home
Be a man, child
You gotta leave home

The corridor is harm
No pictures on the wall
Your smile is all but gone
I can't see the lights are on

For their sake be tough
Boys must play it rough
You gotta be a man, child
And leave home
Be a man, child
Gotta be strong

Father have I sinned
I wasn't vital anything
Go home to the bells ring
Today I'm feeling cold
It's 1943 and I feel old

Mama make me laugh
Save me from the dark
And the heavy hand of madness
I told them I'd be tough

Father played it rough
He never did stand up
For his man, child
He said "be strong"
Man, child
You gotta leave home
Man, child
Be strong
Man, child
You gotta leave home

You say I'll comfort you
You say I'll comfort you

I'm still your baby
Go ahead and save me
I'll hold your hand till the sun
Rise and surprise me
Stand along side me
And I'm glad you know I waited on
For your love to return

I'm still your baby
The gates opened, save me
And I'll take your hand to the sun
Rise and surprise me
And stand along side me
I'm glad you know I waited on

I waited for your love
I waited for you to return
I waited for you to return
I waited for you to return
I waited for you to return
I waited for you to return
