Libraries - Yellow Ostrich

Tell me what you’ve always yearned to say

Sing about the trials

You have known

You have known

You have known

'Cause there will be a fire here today

All you see will slowly fade away

Into ashes, shadows

And the mist

And the mist

And the mist

Make it quick don’t try to understand

Trucks and hoses soon will be at hand

Tell all that you know before you go

Before you go

Before you go

And I will write it down here in my book

I promise you that I will never look

'Til the day has come when the fire starts

When the fire starts

Libraries burn fast

When they’re in the past

Once you leave all your stories will be gone

Libraries burn fast

They weren’t built to last

Flames of memory burn brighter than the rest

Libraries burn fast

Should we try to save them

Should we try to save them

When will they be missing

When will they be missing

Libraries burn fast

When they’re in the past

Once you leave all your stories will be gone

Libraries burn fast

They weren’t built to last

Flames of memory burn brighter than the rest
