Just a Fire in the Yard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Set the firepit out on the lawn Clear blue sky on a quiet dusk Just wanted marshmallow sticky sweetness For the kids before the light was gone Reached for the fuel with a heavy sigh Felt the chill through the autumn air Didn't see the spill on my heavy gloves Didn't know the danger waiting there [Chorus] One spark flew and the blue flame caught In a split second everything changed From a cozy evening in the yard To an emergency room in pain Felt the heat flash up my wrist Heard the children cry my name Petrol gloves and a quiet night Gone up in a sudden flame [Verse 2] Screamed for water as I pulled them free Skin already red and torn Sirens echoing down the street On a night that was peaceful born Now I'm sitting in the hospital bay Bandaged heavy from wrist to palm Thinking 'bout the treats I never toasted And how fast you lose the calm [Chorus] One spark flew and the blue flame caught In a split second everything changed From a cozy evening in the yard To an emergency room in pain Felt the heat flash up my wrist Heard the children cry my name Petrol gloves and a quiet night Gone up in a sudden flame [Outro] White light humming overhead Doctor says I'll heal up fine Still see the blaze against the dark Every time I close my eyes Just wanted marshmallows for the kids... Just a fire in the yard...
