Building A Fire Lyrics

Stuart Mcnair Building A Fire

I'm building a fire by the side of the road
building a fire by the side of the road
my heart has been freed, my oats have been sowed
so i'm building a fire by the side of the road

i'm gonna take me a walk through the woods for a while
i'm gonna take me a walk right through those woods for
a while
the ties around their necks make it hard for folks to
smile
so I'm gonna take me a walk through the woods for a
while

chorus - how many days will there be
how many more full moons will I see
before the tiny stream that carries me
finally flows back into the sea

we're building a home inside of our minds
building us a home right here inside of our minds
everyone's accepted here and welcome every time
building a home inside of our minds

and we're gonna walk a little closer to the light
we're gonna walk a little closer to the light
everything will turn out fine, everything will be
alright
if we can only walk a little closer to the light

chorus

hello, hello, hello, hello, there's no need for goodbye
turn your frown upside down and wipe your weary eyes
i will never fail to stand by your side
until the tiny stream that carries me
finally flows back into the sea

and I'm gonna tell you all exactly how I feel
i'm gonna tell you all right now exactly how I feel
only love brings peace and only love is real
i'm gonna tell you all exactly how I feel

and we're building a fire by the side of the road
building a fire by the side of the road
our hearts have been freed, our outs have been sowed
so we're building a fire by the side of the road

chorus
