Lyrics for Fire Fall
I'm just an old man How could I understand I'm just an old man How could I understand I remember danger when the strangers came They, they knew my name They seemed to know my, my neighbors So I gave them safety in my home Then there was a, a pounding sound And screaming voices all around I offered them my, my daughters Then a light, a light came from the, the strangers' skin They said we had to go away My wife was worried they, they I'm just an old man How could I understand, yes Fire fell from the sky And tears fell from my eyes Fire fell from the sky Tears fell, fell from my eyes Turned to stone like a bone Or maybe salt had hardened on her I was lonely for my wife, oh It only ever happened once or twice, yes I'm just an old man How could I understand, yes I'm just an old man Who just can't stand his memories
