Start a Fire

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 Ooh, think I'm gonna start a fire Ooh-oh, think I'm gonna start a fire, ooh 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 Ooh, think I'm gonna start a fire And, ooh-oh, think I'm gonna start a fire now My skin like these boulders It's 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-ooh, well I think I'm gonna start a fire Ooh-oh, think I'm gonna start a fire And, ooh-oh-ooh-oh, think I'm gonna start a fire now
