I'll light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
play your love songs all night long for me, only for me.

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good.
Such a cozy room, the windows are illuminated by the
sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you.

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
now everything is easy cause of you and our la, la, la…

Our house is a very, very fine house with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard,
now everything is easy cause of you and our

I'll light the fire, while you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.

This song is so beatiful and makes me so happy.it was was co written with Joni Mitchell, who was Nash's lover at the time. The two described this house as at the perfect hippy heaven.

the hippie version of the american dream. he and his love have a big old rural house, they spend time picking flowers, playing music and staring in the fire, and just being in love. the singer's been through hard times, but now that he has his love, nothing will ever be hard again - "everything is easy" cause of her. this song is an irresistable sing-along, and the music, harmony and lyrical message make it absolutely divine.

Song Meaning
The song presents idyllic imagery and a satisfaction with simplicity. Happiness comes from an appreciation of simple things such as lighting a fire, placing flowers in a vase. The images bring to mind still lifes, a meditation on beauty that doesn't need a great big mansion. Happiness can be found in a trailer, as long as you're with the person you love. Life is in harmony. The musical elements of the song are genius, bringing to mind the harmony and melodic content of the Beatles. "An ode to countercultural domestic bliss", written in 1970, the influence of the British invasion cannot be denied.
