lyrics

2 fires

the blue shone bright
the wind was on our side
as we all stood watch in turns
eagles fly high
in pairs until they die
as we waited for 2 fires to burn
yeh we waited for 2 fires to burn

we plan to make it home in time
to kiss our loved ones goodnight
as we talked of all we’d learned
we ate like kings
and songs we’d song
as we waited for 2 fires to burn
yeh we waited for 2 fires to burn

so many fires
so many stories
so much phrase to turn
such busy lives with all that we carry
the trick is to find
the best wood to burn

it all becomes clear
as the fire gets hot
and things are easier to see
ashes can fly
and the winds can turn
as we waited for 2 fires to burn
yeh we waited for 2 fires to burn

solo

so many fires
so many stories
so much phrase to turn
such busy lives with all that we carry
the trick is to find
the best wood to burn

it all becomes clear
as the fire gets hot
and things are easier to see
ashes can fly
and the winds can turn
as we waited for 2 fires to burn
as we waited for 2 fires to burn
as we waited for 2 fires to burn
