Testo Wildfire American Aquarium

Wildfire

I've been on my own
As long as I remember
An ornery stretch of hardwood
Content to wait its turn
Then you fluttered by
A brightly burning ember
Set my world on fire, babe
Sat back and watched it burn

A single spark
On the summer plains
Ignites the dark
Into a field of dancing flames
We gave in
To the simplest of desire
And watched that spark
Turn to wildfire

And then the sky busted open
Like the Book of Revelations
The smell of Bulleit Rye and Brimstone
Filled the August air
I never meant for this to happen
Clean and utter devastation
A flame that burns this bright, babe
Is a flame that don't burn long

A single spark
On the summer plains
Ignites the dark
Into a field of dancing flames
We gave in
To the simplest of desire
And watched that spark
Turn to wildfire

So here I am standing
On the site of something tragic
Cooled ash and scorched earth
Is all that we've left to show
And if there's one thing I've learned
There's a part of death that's magic
Destroying something to make way
For something else to grow

A single spark
On the summer plains
Ignites the dark
Into a field of dancing flames
We gave in
To the simplest of desire
And watched that spark
Turn to wildfire
