Sequoia Songtext
von Kylie Fox

A sequoia
Burns in California
They′ve been up all night
Taming the flames

Leaves
Rise up with the smoke
It's on the radio
That it might not be saved

There are only so many great trees
There are only so many great rains we can depend on
How dare we, how dare we
Rush in at the last minute
We take you for granted old trees

September
Leaves crunch below us
Katya′s hosting dinner
And we walk hunched in the rain


Open mic
Pete plays all our favourites
We pass 'round the cajon
But the rhythm's all the same

There are only so many great nights
There are only so many great friends I can depend on
How dare I, how dare I
Consider brighter cities
I take you for granted old town

Fireweed
We picked off the highway
Is dying on the table
Yellow petals bow with grace

You
Prepare a plate of cheeses
Present it to me softly
And look closely at my face

There are only so many great songs
There are only so many great loves

I can depend on you
How dare I, how dare I
Make you feel unworthy
I take you for granted my love


A sequoia
Burns in California
They′ve been up all night
Taming the flames
