Cowboy Junkies
Throw A Match
Okay

[Verse 1]
Wouldn't I throw a match into your fireworks warehouse
To learn what man regards as evil, God could care less about?
Oh, wouldn't I drop a fly into your bowl of guacamole
To learn that everything you know is just another story?

[Chorus]
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me

[Verse 2]
I can still make you sad, I guess that's a good thing
But my life comes apart whenever you're missing
And I move back towards you one beat at a time
Heartbreak again, your hand in mine

[Chorus]
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me
[Verse 3]
Wouldn't I throw a rock through your childhood window
To get your attention beneath the flannel and the pillows?
I'd let you know you're a luminous beam
Scorching the heavens, screaming out to me

[Chorus]
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me
Witness like a mountain
Absorb it as a sea
Steadfast like a forest
Begin again with me

[Outro]
Wouldn't I throw a match into your fireworks warehouse
To learn what man regards as evil, God could care less about?
