Start a Fire - Passenger

I was born a baby boy a long time ago

Back when the hillsides were green

And the water would flow

But nights they fall and settle like snow

I watched as the hillsides turned white

With nowhere to go

Oh, think I’m gonna start a fire

Oh, think I’m gonna start a fire, oh

Now my heart’s a frozen lake where streams used to flow

Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow

Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows

The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go

Oh, think I’m gonna start a fire

And oh, think I’m gonna start a fire now

My skin like these boulders

Is cracking and older

With each passing year that goes

My cliff face is crumbling

Silently tumbling

Down to the water below

And if I light a match I’ll be able to catch

The last sun before it goes

And oh, well I think I’m gonna start a fire

Oh, think I’m gonna start a fire

And oh, think I’m gonna start a fire now
