Down And Above - Hopesablaze lyrics

When the west was rich with cowboys you found your man The Ex had taken it badly, had been in love madly, in love with my land Moving trucks backed to the door and all the neighbors knew the score A beaming bride and old cowboy on the road again Said "Jump in the car girl, let's get outta town" Had no idea we'd come back to what we found Now we'll never really know (take a guess) who burned down our nest We'll never put a face to the name who set our hopes ablaze Comin' up over the ridge, smoke in the air Oh my God, my dear, the hilltop is burning, our home should be there Tire tracks fresh in the snow Gas cans on the front lawn glow Comin' up over the ridge, smoke in the air Now we'll never really know (take a guess) who burned down our nest We'll never put a face to the name who set our hopes ablaze The snow fell as hard as our dreams and the blaze lit the eastern sky We held each other close and we knew we'd make it through the night
