Living In A Burning House [Digital Single]


Birchwood's searing guitar and lap steel work, along with his incisive, hook-filled songs and pin-you-to-the-wall vocals, places him among the very best of the new generation of bluesmen. Rolling Stone says, "Birchwood is a remarkable, contemporary bluesman...a powerhouse young guitarist and soulful vocalist. A major player...highly recommended.”

1. Living In A Burning House

I'm smellin' smoke
And I know something's burning
But I’m just too scared to look
If I close my eyes
And ignore all the warnings
I won't have to see the truth

My heart says "leave"
But my legs won't let me
Can't bring myself to leave my home
But I'm finding out
That there ain't no doubt
I'm living in a burning house
I'm living in a burning house
I'm living in a burning house
Living in a burning house

I see a glow
It paints my shadow on the wall
And the flicker makes it dance
The air's grown thicker
I can hardly breathe at all
And all I know
Is this don't feel like romance

My heart says "leave"
But my legs won't let me
Can't bring myself to leave my home
But I'm finding out
That there ain't no doubt
I'm living in a burning house
I'm living in a burning house
I'm living in a burning house
Living in a burning house

My heart says "leave"
But my legs won't let me
Can't bring myself to leave my home
But I’m finding out
That there ain't no doubt
I'm living in a burning house
I'm living in a burning house
I'm living in a burning house
Living in a burning house
