"Why Should The Fire Die?" lyrics - NICKEL CREEK

Why should the fire die?
My mom and dad kept theirs alive
It's early yet, don't say goodnight
I know you're tired, you'll be all right

You're shining still behind the clouds
Saying I won't figure you out
It might be true, but let me try
And try and try, for the rest of my life

I'm not scared of being alone
I'm not scared of being alone, being alone
I'm just happier being confused beside the fire
As long as it's with you

Why should the fire die?
My mom and dad kept theirs alive
It's getting late, she says goodnight
And falls asleep, I'll be all right
