Born from the night in the roaring wind
Cast out of the shadows by an unknown hand
Warmed by the light of these falling limbs
drunk on the sadness of a universe unmanned
Across the water she clings to me
and in the rising karma I feel her at my side
My father's singing in the fallin' leaves
about the complicated beauty of a river run dry
Sit down by the fire
Sit down by the fire
It's hard to say
but I think you'd better
just Say you don't love me
you don't love me anymore
I been waiting in line
now I know I'll never
Overcome this madness
if I don't know for sure
Across the water she clings to me
and in the light of dawn
I see her at my side
and my father's singing in the fallin' leaves
there's no way out of this old world even if you try
So just sit down by the fire
sit down by the fire
there ain't no way to get what I want
Sit down by the fire
oh, sit down by the fire
There ain't no way to get what I want
Some day
a little rain is bound to fall
Some day
a little rain is bound to fall
Some day
a little rain is bound to fall
Some day
Over my head my heart and my feet
I'm drawn insane
you know I need you now
Over my head my heart and my feet
I'm drawn insane
Sit down by the fire love
sit down by the fire
there ain't no way to get what I want
Sit down by the fire love
sit down by the fire
there ain't no way to get what I want.
Oh, there ain't no way to get what I want.
