Fireflower

We're gonna die, Winnipeg said casually
As we stared up through the trees
The branches bent, shivered in the winter breeze
Snowflakes fallin' on our cheeks

And we forgot all about the bitter cold
Walked till we couldn't feel our toes
Stopped on the lake, and then she took off all her clothes
Runnin' naked in the snow

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom
Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

I'm such a mess, Winnipeg sadly confessed
As she stared into her beer
I talk too much, burn everything I touch
I don't know what I'm doin' here

We dried our shoes, then we went upstairs to my room
Said she couldn't stay for long
We met the night, cigarettes and pillow fights
When I woke up she was gone

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom
Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Years were spent, never found out where she went
Just a room and now a name
Notes from Berlin, an old address in Michigan
Only embers in the wind

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom
Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom
Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom
Fireflower, fireflower in bloom
