Fire Wood Thick, thick fog is rolling in I'm invisible I like it a lot here All the lights on the ships are barely breaking through My God, it's beautiful What is this I'm going through? I may be gone for a while I think I'll go for a while I must away for a while Collecting fire wood When I return my arms will be full When I return my arms will be full When I return my arms will be full Of fire wood Of fire wood I'll only be gone for a while I need to find my smile When I return my arms will be full Of fire wood Of fire wood Silver If you're out there tonight In the audience I may have to keep my eyes down down throughout this song With one eye on the door Just in case you arrive Don't ask me who this is for I may have to lie I may have to lie Silver came like a sheet of rain I was hiding in the van Too scared to come out And tell you how I feel Too stoned to show you who I really am And if you're travelling Well I'll see you at the fair But see how the lanterns hang 'round The Small World Cafe With one eye out in the field Just in case you drift in I always harvest before I yield I want to gather you in I want to gather you in Still, I want to gather you in I want to gather you in Silver came like a sheet of rain I was singing on the stage Too scared to look out In case I give it away I love you more than this augur states And see how the lanterns hang 'round And all are drifting towards the stage And see how the lanterns hang 'round And futures of brandy and chocolate and lemon and ginger And see how the lanterns hang 'round
And the moon shines through like a pearl in the sky And see how the lanterns hang 'round And the wind rushes in through the gaps in the stage Just look at the lanterns hang 'round There's a whole conversation soaked up in the earth and the soil, down bathing in the sounds of music See how the lanterns hang 'round The Small World Cafe With one eye out in the field Just in case you drift in Why do I harvest before I yield I want to gather you in I want to gather you in Still, I want to gather you in I gonna to gather you in Silver came like a sheet of rain I was hiding in the van Too scared to come out And tell you how I feel Too stoned to show you who I really am Silver came like a sheet of rain I was hiding in the van Too scared to come out And tell you how I feel Too stoned to show you who I really am And anyway, I'm too stoned to show you who I really am Too stoned to show you who I really am Unnamed section You're flat on your back And you may stay there til morning You're remembering the comfort that his arms gave His arms gave And you're aching for nothing You'll remain there til morning You're picking off the day before the next begins All up to you neck in needles and pins And the office and the busyness bustles away You're flat on your bed and you may stay there til morning And you remember the comfort that his arms gave And you spelled out his name Compelled by the same And you're aching for nothing You remain there til morning And you remain there til morning Til morning
