Lyrics:

In the bright morning light
When the sun beats down on Riverside Park
You’re inside, alone in the darkness
See you don’t know if we fit
But you can see a spark
Well I beg your pardon
Forest fires have started in the garden

So what if we don’t last long?
You know the forecast is nearly always wrong
And I beg your pardon
This forest fire you started in the garden

See from the tiniest spark
You could accidentally burn up the sky
And who’s to say what magnified it
See we could shoot for the moon
One in a thousand chances
We’d plant a flag in the ground
But I’ll be with you when we’re falling back down

So what if we don’t last long?
We’ll still have the past to dream of
And I beg your pardon
This forest fire you started in the garden

In the quiet of the night
When the band plays “Nearer, My God, To Thee”
And our ship is sinking in the open sea
I’d like to think that we didn’t
Pay attention to a fantasy
It takes a lot of work to paint a perfect scene
