I was dreading last July And I've never seen it so dry It was hard the last time I had to go And it's one more reason why I never called before I left I thought that would be best I couldn't lie and didn't want you to know About the beating in my chest Ohh It's all gone now And some folks are just memories Now the cinder has all burned out And their names are the trees On that night the wind would blow I was asleep and dreamt about you Radio blast took me fast from your arms And I stared out upon the glow Fire overtook the mountain And came racing down our side Best make best with wherever you'll rest We might not make it out alive Ohh it's all gone now And some folks are just memories And now the cinder has all burned out And their names are the trees Looking west, it's the same as the rest When the water's all gone where can they go? They cry for rain to the sky to stop the pain And feed the ground so that hope can grow Ohh it's all gone now Some folks are just memories And now the cinder is all burned out And their names are the trees
