The Fire Overhead Lyrics

Artist: Eleanor McEvoy
Album: What's Following Me

Fireâ‚¬â„¢s burn, turning into dust
What was precious, what was pretty paradise
Fireâ‚¬â„¢s turn, burning to the ground.
What was healthy what was holy, what was life.
If you think itâ‚¬â„¢s hot now,
If you hate that heat
You think itâ‚¬â„¢s bad now, wait and see,
You think itâ‚¬â„¢s close now as you sleep within your bed.

Check out the fire
Check out the fire
Check out the fire overhead.

Children grow, playing with their toys
Acting out their fairytales in play
Children play, growing with the noise
Of television teaching them the way,
And while youâ‚¬â„¢re sometimes scared now
If you see the flames
You think the smokeâ‚¬â„¢s from far away,
You read the papers, saying the fire will not spread

Repeat CHORUS

Sweet the light, glowing neon blue
Of havens offering shelter from the storm
Sweet the sound, crackling in the grate
Of firelight, welcoming and warm
But if you think itâ‚¬â„¢s safe now,
If you feel at ease
Your safetyâ‚¬â„¢s hanging from a thread
Before youâ‚¬â„¢re happy, having locked your doors at night

Repeat CHORUS
