Words and Music by Gina Chavez
It’s been so long since I felt a drop of rain on my head
It’s dreadful cold so I curl beside an ember of red
My mind is parched like cotton
My dreams went rotten
And all I’ve got now is this flame
They told me not to touch it
Blow or brush it
it don’t look like much
but I’m afraid
It could set the trees on fire
Trees on fire
The trees on fire
Won’t somebody put it out
When I was born mama said the heavens cried joyful tears
Flowers came to dip their petals ‘fore the drops disappeared
Now there’s no green for eating
Our hearts stopped beating
All that’s left is cheating insanity
You gotta stop debating
No time for waiting
I think old Satan called my name
I set the trees on fire
Trees on fire
I set the trees on fire
Won’t somebody put me out
Ooh…
I’m sneaking out under cover of the blanket of night
I brought a friend, he promised he could make the heavens cry
Rad tune and recording. Killer debut for the site!
