Everett Thomas Lyrics
"Firesong"

I heard about a woman on a coast
Just her stars up above, and the dust from an old man's coat
She's got scars on her eyes, and those that she can see
If the wind never blows, no man can be free

And she says "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
She says "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"

Oh down in the gray delta sky
Them creole stars fall as a man begins to die
And he thinks about the war, and how he never quite found peace
If the tide won't never change, the man won't be free

And he says "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
He says "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"

These days they seem madder than the rest
Our sons and our daughters are left with nothing left
Because we cursed at the oceans, and lashed out at the trees
And the son ain't gonna rise, and man ain't gon' be free

So I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"

Oh down on Sonoma County creek
I lay out on the grass and listen to the sea
And I look up at the sky and the stars look back at me
Say a man is just a man, but his heart can set him free

So I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
I said "ooh ooh, sing a song for me"
