Matches

There’s wood for the fire But there’s no matches No matches Been here for awhile But there’s no matches No matches Just fools on a wire Balancing old and untried So we will fall into the night ‘cause there’s no matches No matches Last night I closed my eyes See my life flashing, flashing Why am I so surprised That it’s not lasting, lasting I can’t make a sound ‘cause I have burned to the ground Ashes and dust falling down Among the old matches, old matches Please wash the ashes away You know I don’t like to beg But give me a spark to cut the grey ‘cause there’s no matches ‘Cause there’s no matches No more matches No matches
