Help to Prevent Forest Fires - Get Well Soon
Tekst piosenki
Album: Rest Now, Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon (2006)
The start was a long goodbye
In the end you just left me here
You wait for no miracle
You go to the land some book has told you about
So go you must find some warmth
The warmth you never found In your family
You hide under maple leaves
That's the most secret place
Hide your secret beauty
Just guard that secret well
With your life
And for everything you've got a name
And for everywhere you've got a map
But all the while
You were just sharpening your knife
Go and save this country
A lot of people wait
Help to prevent forest fires
But you will always stand in flames
And at least you need one year off
Just enough to define yourself
But all the while
You were just sharpening your knife
In your sleep
You were seeing me driving
Past some Canadian airline
But all your shirts
And short skirts are too cold
For some national park in the north
Cause it takes no meteorological knowledge
To say that the beach isn't warm in the arctic
All the while you were close to Alaska
You just pretended you were here with me
And all the while
You were just sharpening your knife
All the while
You were just waiting to push me off the cliff
