Forest fire, fifty years gone
Tall charred timbers standing on
Black and blue are not what you ought to
Looking out wondering, when the rains will come

It burned and spread, like wild anger
From a man, whose pain was a dagger
Over and over and over it lingered
Left with bruises on fist and fingers

No water in their bones
No fire in their hearts
There’s nothing there to break apart
Those flowers won’t bloom after dark

Break

Something red and something stronger
Keeps you down and keeps you longer
Than you ever would, never before
And can’t get loose and can’t get more, no more

Ashes rest around pink darlings
Oh when it blows and they spread their seeds
They move and flow young pioneers bringing
Though something long ago ain’t singing

No water in their bones
No fire in their hearts
There’s nothing there to break apart
Those flowers won’t bloom after dark
Those flowers won’t bloom after dark
