The Fire Overhead (Album Version) - Eleanor Mcevoy

作词：E Mcevoy

作曲：E Mcevoy

Fire's burn turning into dust

What was precious what was pretty paradise

And fire's turn burning to the ground

What was healthy what was holy what was life

But if you think it's hot now

And if you hate that heat

You think it's bad now wait and see

You think it'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 fairy tales in play

And children play growing with the noise

Of television teaching them the way

And while you're sometimes scared now

If you see the flames

You think the smoke's from far away

You read the papers

Saying the fire will not spread

Check out the fire

Check out the fire

Check out the fire overhead

Sweet the light glowing neon blue

Of havens offering shelter from the storm

Sweet the sound crackling in the grate

Of firelight so welcoming and warm

But if you think it's safe now

If you feel at ease

Your safety's hanging from a thread

Before you're happy

Having locked your doors at night

Check out the fire

Check out the fire

Check out the fire overhead
