All Fires

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
