Fire Suite Reprise

Now you've heard our refrain And this story must end 'Cause the stars can't stay up They can only descend Say we drank And we prayed Some just sat like a choir Came the smoke In the night Came the heat Came the fire Timber tender Tender will you remember Grim sender I can't pretend So I'll surrender Timber tender Tender will you remember Grim sender I can't pretend So I'll surrender So I'll surrender
