I Need a Forest Fire Lyrics

[Intro: Justin Vernon & James Blake]
(Another shade, another shadow...)
Hoo
Nice

[Chorus: Justin Vernon]
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
(Another shade, another shadow...)
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire

[Verse 1: James Blake]
I'm saved by nature
But it always forgets what I need
I hope you'll stop me before I build a wall around me
We need a forest fire
We need a forest fire
We need a forest fire
We need a forest fire

[Verse 2: Justin Vernon]
You're thicker than you think
You know that money bought your name
Caution, swelling, can I repay you with some blame?

[Chorus: Justin Vernon & James Blake]
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
(Another shade, another shadow...)
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire
(Another shade, another shadow...)
To burn it like cedar
I request another dream
I need a forest fire

[Outro: James Blake]
Stop
Stop before I build a wall around me
Stop before I build a wall around me
Stop before I build a wall around me
