Intro: C G D Em
C G
They both met in the midnight sky,
D Em
Got lost in each other's eyes,
C G Am7
Then threw away the map and lost the key,
C G
God sent them the first two kids,
D Em
One named Fire, the other one Wind,
C G Am7
With a note that floated down for them to read.
C G D
It said 'You asked what it was like up here for Me.'
C G
Mother Earth and Father Ti-ime,
D Em C G
Fell in love over Appalachian wi-ine,
D Em C G
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their mi-inds,
D Em C G
Raised a little hell before they fell in li-ine.
C G
Fire came out with a restless soul,
D Em
That only got worse as he got older,
C G Am7
'Til finally he got too hot to tame.
C G
Time said 'Son I know it's hard but,
D Em
You're breaking your Momma's heart.'
C G Am7
And Fire looked up through tears that made the rain,
C G D
He said 'Why is it everything I love I set aflame?'
C G

C G
Wind was born to the open sky with a,
D Em
Bad temper and a wandering eye,
C G Am7
That kept him on the run for most his days.
C G
Earth said 'Listen, hear my child, see,
D Em
I used to run that wild,
C G Am7
'Cause it's hard to put a finger on the pain,
C G D
But son you can't outrun a thing like shame.'
C G
Then Time and Earth got on their knees,
D Em
And prayed 'Dear God, oh can't You see?
C G
The Fire's too hot, the Wind's too cold,
D Em
And loving them is gonna kill us both.'
C G
Then God reached down and took their hands,
D Em
Dried their tears, and smiled and said,
C G Am7
'That's kind of what it's like up here for Me.
C G D
Yeah, loving them will cost you every-thing.'
