You have a father
There is another
You have a sister
There are no brothers

You have good friends
You have the lover
When friendships end
You will still love her
But it's Theresa that you love the best

There was a flood
A world of water
The mason's wife
Swam for her daughter

One thousand people
Tear what they could
They found a steeple and
Tore up the wood

Five hundred pieces means
Five hundred float
One thousand people means
Five hundred don't
And it's Theresa that they love the best

And I've said it before
And I'll say it again
I've said it before
And I'll say it again, again, again
I've said it before
And I'll say it again

All fires have to burn alive
All fires have to burn alive
All fires have to burn alive
All fires have to burn alive
All fires have to burn alive, alive, alive, alive, alive
All fires have to burn alive
All fires have to burn alive

From near his heart
He took a rib
But all fires have to burn alive to live
And from near his heart
He took a rib
But all fires have to burn alive to live

So it's Theresa that I love the best
