WHEN THE FIRE’S OUT  

When the fire’s out
And day is ending
And you’re doing without
And you’ve stopped pretending  

See the trees bow down
In silhouette
The rain on the window
Will help you forget
When the fire’s out 

When the truth is out
And the game is over
And you just found out
That your world’s grown colder

See the trees bow down
In fine array
The four winds
Carry the day away
When the truth is out 

When you’ve stayed too long
In a house divided  
And you’re feeling strong
But you’re undecided

When silver leaves shiver
In the sun
You’ll know the change
Has finally come

When you’ve stayed too long
And the truth is out
