Why Should The Fire Die? - Nickel Creek

why should the fire die,

my mom and dad kept theirs alive,

its early yet don’t say goodnight,

i know you’re tired you’ll be alright,

you’re shining still behind the clouds,

saying i won’t figure you out,

it might be true but let me say,

and try and try for the rest of my life,

i’m not scared of being alone,

i’m just happier being confused,

beside the fire as long as it’s with you,

why should that fire die,

my mom and dad kept theirs alive,

it’s getting late she says goodnight,

and falls asleep i’ll be alright
