All Fires lyrics

You have a father There is another You have a sister There are no brothers. You have good friends You have a lover When friendships end You will still love her But it's Teresa they love the best. There was a flood A world of water The mason's wife Swam for her daughter. One thousand people Did what they could. They found the steeple And tore out the wood. Five hundred pieces Means five hundred float. One thousand people means Five hundred don't. And it's Teresa they love the best. I've said it before, And I'll say it again. All fires have to burn alive. All fires have to burn alive. From near his heart, He took a rib. All fires have to burn alive to live. From near his heart, He took a rib. All fires have to burn alive to live. So it's Teresa that I love the best
