Huge Fire

Lyrics for Huge Fire

Trying to see from in this room where it is blinding Learning to breathe beneath the surface Of all the wrecked up things I haul with me around I heard singing at twilight Trailed by belongings, I crawled forward Into a clearing at dusk And got a huge fire going It grew, night fell, and I kept throwing Whatever I could pick up into the flames Nothing but me and all this shattered wood I've been pulling Into a heap of flames and smoke, this is my life And now I've lived long enough to know That nothing's stronger than the blow The whipping wind, the way it tears The sparks are full in the sky yawing open Breath only very rarely sung You were singing at twilight With your fingers moving And I heard the same song in a dream And I sing it now to myself I carry it into the night I walk and there's a fire, but it's at my back Three days of heavy rain and there's still coals
