Come my darling, take my hand
On our front lawn, there we'll stand
Come with me dear, come on and take my hand
Right off the porch here
Come see the starts, come see the night
Watch the flames tickling the sky
Say goodbye to everything we own
Gone up in smoke
Broken things and timber
Burn it down and walk away
And we're gone
We never needed half those things
The other half, you know, they were just things
Walk with me girl, come on without a fear
And feel the warmth here
I guess we just went wrong
And in a flash it was all just gone
Say goodbye to everything we'd known
Gone up in smoke
Broken things and timber
Ash and ember, fame and fear
The river will flow, the trees will still grow
And time is a thing that will always stay
We wont steer nothing, no, we won't fear nothing
But time is a thing that will have to pay
And sure enough it will have its way
Burn away the pain, embrace the rain
You'll never believe the thing I've done
You'll never believe the thing I've planned
Say goodbye to everything we'd known
Gone up in smoke
Broken things and timber
Ash and ember, fame and fear
And this song
