I was born a baby boy a long time ago Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow But nights they fall and settle like snow I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go Oh think I’m gonna start a fire Oh think I’m gonna start a fire Now my heart’s a frozen lake where streams used to flow Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go Oh think I’m gonna start a fire Oh think I’m gonna start a fire My skin like these boulders Is cracking and older With each passing year that goes My cliff face is crumbling Silently tumbling Down to the water below And if I light a match I’ll be able to catch The last sun before it goes And oh well I think I’m gonna start a fire Oh think I’m gonna start a fire And oh think I’m gonna start a fire now
