Gone To See The Fire

He hadn't been talking

Parked out of the way

Just say there smoking

Watching the flames

You're going to tell me why

We're first to arrive

She thought she knew him well

Until they had gone to see the fire

When the roof fell in

He lit up again

She thought she knew him well

Until they had gone to see the fire

Friends with her brother

He started to call

Now it's been two months

Summer to fall

A burn on his finger

Smoke in his clothes

Tapping his ashes

Like sending up code

You're going to tell me why

We're first to arrive

She thought she knew him well

Until they had gone to see the fire

When the roof fell in

He lit up again

She thought she knew him well

Until they had gone to see the fire
