jack of none – fire song lyrics
when i was a little girl
my father had asked me not to play with fire–
so i didn’t (at least, not to his knowledge)
but i would dream, and in my dreams,
there were horses in the woods
you and i were bareback and restless–
we would ride through the woods
and the woods were on fire
and our hearts were on fire
(and i was playing with fire)
the pounding of hooves
the sharp smell of smoke
and then i would wake from my dream
and my mother would ask me if i had played with fire–
but i hadn’t (at least, not to her knowledge)
‘though i’d return to that dream
when no one was watching
to the danger, the fire, the desire
and i remember how the woods were on fire
and our hearts were on fire
(and i was playing with fire)
the sharp smell of smoke
the sweet sweat of youth
and then one day, i decided to awaken from that dream
to return home where my mother and father
had waited patiently,
but i couldn’t believe what i had found–
that their house had caught on fire
