Their Names Are The Trees

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
