The Copper Trees 
Twenty One

Down the ramp to board the plane,
a memory came flooding in.
You flicked a cigarette, they all ran to extinguish it,
but that moment lit a flame - that still burns in me today.

I had to leave the grey to trace,
the sun you left me - in your place.
all the vines keep making wine,
year after year, new stories wind their way late into the night, into the night

Dance on every corner, hang on every word.
Buy the ticket and take the ride, just like we did before. 
Hang on every memory, signs you can’t ignore.
Keep the fire and the stoke alive, tonight, alive, tonight.

Morning breaks, a window pain,
Your voice is echoing again.
She waits outside the door, wants to show me something more. And she knows just where to go, as if you told her so.

Trace the letters back in time, 
Moving forward in rewind. 
Remember, how could I forget?
I wondered if you stayed or left.

Dance on every corner, hang on every word.
Buy the ticket and take the ride, just like we did before. 
Hang on every memory, signs you can’t ignore.
Keep the fire and the stoke alive, tonight, alive, tonight.

Sit and sip to take it in,
You’re back behind the wheel again.
The car it hums us songs,
we search for words and sing along, 
flip the signs and make them all our own.

Dance on every corner, hang on every word.
Buy the ticket and take the ride, just like we did before. Hang on every memory, signs you can’t ignore.
Keep the fire and the stoke alive, tonight, alive, tonight.
