I was born a baby boy a long time agoBack when the hillsides were green and the water would flowBut nights they fall and settle like snowI watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to goOh think I'm gonna start a fireOh think I'm gonna start a fireNow my heart's a frozen lake where streams used to flowDown to the forest of my mind where memory would growNow I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glowsThe leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to goOh think I'm gonna start a fireOh think I'm gonna start a fireMy skin like these bouldersIs cracking and olderWith each passing year that goesMy cliff face is crumblingSilently tumblingDown to the water belowAnd if I light a match I'll be able to catchThe last sun before it goesAnd oh well I think I'm gonna start a fireOh think I'm gonna start a fireAnd oh think I'm gonna start a fire now Aus Songtexte Mania
