lyrics

Signal Fire:
The day was smothered like a signal fire
Dry leaves under heavy autumn rains
The Holy Ghost was no where to be seen

The less we earn the more we learn
That living’s not about getting paid
No everything you truly love is free

But the days run away
Like wild horses over the plains
And the survivors live
To tell about their father’s dreams

And you may exaggerate a bit
But that’s how he would have wanted it
If he was still around

And all I’ve ever known
Is how to get gone.

This quiet night, it knows no light
Except for the fire that’s burning in our minds
We’ll drown it for sure this time

You hiding out afraid of doubt
That steered you toward those tired streets
Well you don’t gotta win but don’t be the first one to claim defeat

But the months are chased away
Like some poor scrawny stray
Left out there in the streets to stay
And he might come crawling back
Like those thoughts that make you sick
And your heart, it will race

But all I’ve ever known
Is how to get gone
