Cast Iron Fire
CAST IRON FIRE
Written By: Levin Schwartz
Verse:
Robby’s in the same place again
With the devil in his hand
Hanging by the bus stop
Playing with the local bebop band
Verse:
With his trumpet in the air
Robby doesn’t seem to have a care.
But after the doctor
He lost his laughter, his worst nightmare
Verse:
But after all those years
Robby sure could play the town
A different room a night
Robby sure got around.
Chorus:
You know it’s love that burns the most
Hotter than a cast iron fire
We are all living with our ghosts,
Lifting us highter and higher and higher.
Verse:
Once in a while
You might catch Robby smile.
Maybe for his children or
Walking the country mile.
Verse:
Maybe for a wife
A beautiful, loving wife.
Lost in the fire that took
All in his life.
Chorus:
You know it’s love that burns the most
Hotter than a cast iron fire
We are all living with our ghosts,
Lifting us higher and higher and higher.
