lirik lagu peter cooper (usa) - birches
[verse 1]
they sat at each end of the couch
watched as the fire burned down
so quiet on this winter night
not a house light on for miles around
and he said, “i think i’ll fill the stove
it’s getting time for bed”
she looked up, “i think i’ll have some wine
how ’bout you?” she asked, and he declined
[verse 2]
“and warren,” she said
“maybe just for tonight
let’s fill the stove with birches
and watch as the fire burns bright
how long’s it been?
i know it’s quite a while
pour yourself half a glass
stay with me a little while”
[verse 3]
and warren, he shook his head
as if she’d made some kind of joke
“birches on a winter night
no, we’ll fill the stove with oak
and oak will burn as long and hot
as a july afternoon
birch will burn itself out
by the rising of the moon
[verse 4]
“and you hate a cold house same as me
am i right or not?”
“all right, all right, that’s true,” she said
“it was just a thought”
then she said, “warren, you do look tired
maybe you should go up to bed
i’ll look after the fire tonight”
“oak,” he told her, “oak,” she said

[verse 5]
and she listened to his footsteps
as he climbed up the stairs
then she pulled a sweater on her
set her wine glass on the chair
and she walked down cellar to the woodbox
it was cold as an ice chest
and climbed back up with four logs
each as white as a wedding dress
[verse 6]
and she filled the stove and she poured the wine
and then she sat down on the floor
she curled her legs beneath her
as the fire sprang to life once more
and it filled the room with a hungry light
and it cracked as it drew air
and the shadows danced a jittery waltz
like no one else was there
[verse 7]
and she stood up in the heat
she twirled around the room
and the shadows, they saw nothing
but a young girl on her honeymoon
and she knew the time, it would be short
and the fire would start to fade
she thought of heat, she thought of time
she called it an even trade
