Fire Fall

I'm just an old man

How could I understand

I'm just an old man

How could I understand

I remember danger when the strangers came

They, they knew my name

They seemed to know my, my neighbors

So I gave them safety in my home

Then there was a, a pounding sound

And screaming voices all around

I offered them my, my daughters

Then a light, a light came from the, the strangers' skin

They said we had to go away

My wife was worried they, they

I'm just an old man

How could I understand, yes

Fire fell from the sky

And tears fell from my eyes

Fire fell from the sky

Tears fell, fell from my eyes

Turned to stone like a bone

Or maybe salt had hardened on her

I was lonely for my wife, oh

It only ever happened once or twice, yes

I'm just an old man

How could I understand, yes

I'm just an old man

Who just can't stand his memories
