Fire & Flood

Life was easy Back when we were young We'd wear cowboy hats And play with laser guns Days were simple like a guitar strum It was the summer nights No matter what the month The world was smaller Within our circle We were so safe and warm But now we're older It's not so simple We're head on with that storm Come on brother open up your eyes We've felt the fire and seen the flood We're carrying the scars We've played the cynic far too long We will travel on She walks in With a broken smile Sister rest your bones Come on and stay a while She takes a seat And whispers thank you friend Then she looks my way says Don't misunderstand We had no armor We didn't need it We were so safe and warm But now we're older It's not so simple We're head on with that storm Come on sister open up your eyes We've felt the fire and seen the flood We're carrying the scars We've played the cynic far too long We will travel on The world was smaller Within our circle We were so safe and warm But now we're older It's not so simple We're head on with that storm The world was smaller Way back in Dawson We were so innocent So innocent and charmed But now we're older It's not so simple We're head on with that storm Come on people open up your eyes We've felt the fire and seen the flood We're carrying the scars We've played the cynic far too long We've felt the fire and seen the flood We're carrying the scars We've played the cynic far too long We will travel on
