Their Names Are The Trees

I was dreading last July
 And I've never seen it so dry
 It was hard the last time I had to go
 And it's one more reason why
 I never called before I left
 I thought that would be best
 I couldn't lie and didn't want you to know
 About the beating in my chest
 Ohh It's all gone now
 And some folks are just memories
 Now the cinder has all burned out
 And their names are the trees
 On that night the wind would blow
 I was asleep and dreamt about you
 Radio blast took me fast from your arms
 And I stared out upon the glow
 Fire overtook the mountain
 And came racing down our side
 Best make best with wherever you'll rest
 We might not make it out alive
 Ohh it's all gone now
 And some folks are just memories
 And now the cinder has all burned out
 And their names are the trees
 Looking west, it's the same as the rest
 When the water's all gone where can they go?
 They cry for rain to the sky to stop the pain
 And feed the ground so that hope can grow
 Ohh it's all gone now
 Some folks are just memories
 And now the cinder is all burned out
 And their names are the trees
