Should We Let the Fire Die? - Branches

Should we let the fire die?

Should we let the fire die?

The sparks still have a flicker and the night is growing thicker, but

Should we let the fire die?

Or should we stay out a little longer?

Should we stay out a little longer?

The riverbanks are singing with the waters that they’re bringing

So should we stay out a little longer?

Should we say goodnight to the stars?

Should we say goodnight to the stars?

Or should we, in our places, keep letting the absence sing us to sleep

Should we say goodnight to the stars?

Oh, I never

Oh, I never

Oh, I never saw you coming

My dear, I have one last thing to ask you

My dear, I have one last thing to ask you

I’ve asked about the embers bright

The riverbanks and the starry night

But, my dear, I have one last thing to ask you

Can I kiss you before the night is through?

Can I kiss you before the night is through?

That’s my only question, so, my darling, please say yes and then

I’ll kiss you before the night is through

Oh, I never

Oh, I never

Oh, I never saw you coming
