Until the Day Burns Down Songtext
von Chamberlain

Winter comes a-hunting like a wolf on the wind
Lovers lie unknowing in their beds
It won′t be long before the cold and the snow
Kill the flowering armies that summer's led
Dig for your last smoke as the highway leads you home
This day′s going down in a flame
And evening's a reminder of the beauty of the end
And that the end might be the reason why we came

Night's hand in silence to the hillsides where you walk
But you want that deeper silence that′s kept up in the hills
The fields of love are with the colours at your knees
But you know there are stranger flowers still


Somehow you tell yourself
Like a rain cloud
I′ll be back again
And as you pull up to your house
You know that you can't
That you can′t go in
Until the day burns down
Until the day burns down

We live the long walk of a question, my friend
I think about my sister out in the rain
And all those heroes I know that she'll never find
And that she′ll never leave as perfect as she came
My mind's a symphony in the dark
And my heart′s an old museum
With all of these memories that I keep
I gotta get back to where the sun raised the flowers
And the flowers, they raised me

Somehow you tell yourself
Like a rain cloud
I'll be back again
And as you pull up to your house
You know that you can't
That you can′t go in
Until the day burns down
Until the day burns down


Winter comes a-hunting like a wolf on the wind
Lovers lie unknowing in their beds
It won′t be long before the cold and the snow
Kill the flowering armies that summer's led
Dig for your last smoke as the highway leads you home
This day′s going down in a flame
And evening's a reminder of the beauty of the end
And that the end might be the reason why we came

If I could hang the stars up, I′d hang 'em up one by one
To leave this world with something my hands made
And when that sun came up and made ′em all disappear
I'd know my work was real 'cause nothing real can stay

Somehow you tell yourself

Like some rain cloud
I′ll be back again
And as you pull up to your house
You know, you know, you know
You can′t go in
Until the day burns down
Until the day burns down
Until the day burns down
Until the day burns down
Until the day burns down
