Help To Prevent Forest Fires

The start was a long goodbye

In the end you just left me here

You wait for no miracle

You go to the land some book has told you about

So go you must find some warmth

The warmth you never found in your family

You hide under maple leaves

That's the most secret place

Hide your secret beauty

Just guard that secret well

With your life

And for everything you've got a name

And for everywhere you've got a map

But all the while

You just sharpened your knife

Go and save this country

A lot of people wait

Help to prevent forest fires

But you will always stand in flames

And at least you need one year off

Just enough to define yourself

But all the while

You were just sharpening your knife

In your sleep

You were seeing me driving

Past some Canadian airline

But all your shirts

And short skirts are too cold

For some national park in the north

Cause it takes no meteorological knowledge

To say that the beach isn't warm in the arctic

All the while you were close to Alaska

You just pretended you were here with me

And all the while

You were just sharpening your knife

All the while

You were just waiting to push me off the cliff
