Damrell's Fire Songtext
von The Dimes

It felt like winter everywhere except for Summer Street
There the flames were all anybody anywhere could see
And from the top of Beacon Hill
We watched the fire spill over Water Street

Well it started quickly, the flames in a shootout on a city street
Jumping roof to roof like they were running from a robbery
And everywhere you turned
Another building burned, now it′s all debris


And everybody knows where they were the night the fire came
And everybody found who they were the night the fire came
And swallowed me whole

So with our backs on Broad Street
The captain told us all we had to hold the line
But the horses were laid up in bed
And the engines couldn't make the climb
And so the word spread down the wire
The flames were getting higher here in Deverell′s Fire

And everybody knows where they were the night the fire came
And everybody found who they were the night the fire came
And swallowed me whole
