All Fires Lyrics

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'll still love her

but it's Theresa that you love the best

There was a flood
a world of water
the Mason's wife, swam for her daughter
1,000 people did what they could
they found a steeple and tore out the wood
500 pieces means 500 float
1,000 people means 500 don't
and it's Theresa that they love the best

I've said it before and I'll say it again
all fires have to burn a life
all fires have to burn a life

from near his heart he took a rib
all fires have to burn a life to live
from near his heart he took a rib
for all fires have to burn a life to live

So it's Theresa that I love the best
