SEMI-EXCLUSIVE: Swan Lake

I despise YouSendIt. Oh well. Lyrics and song.

mp3: Swan Lake -- All Fires

You have a father;
There is another;
You have a sister—
There are no brothers.

You have good friends;
You have a lover;
When friendships end
You will still love her.

But this Teresa they love the best.

There was a flood;
A world of water;
The mason’s wife
Swam for her daughter

One thousand people
Did what they could;
They found a steeple
And tore up the wood.

Five hundred pieces means
Five hundred float;
One thousand people mean
Five hundred don’t.

And it’s Teresa that they love the best.

And I’ve said it before
And I’ll say it again;
All fires have to burn alive.
All fires have to burn alive.

From near his heart
He took a room
Where all fires have to burn alive to live.

From near his heart
He took a room
Where all fires have to burn alive to live.

So it’s Teresa that I love the best.





Beautiful.
