the fire burning


The fire burning
In the woods of silence
The words hardly moving
The circle of people

What can they say?
The hardship the face
The captain lays asleep
On his ship by the sea

The sailors keep warm
Trekking up the hill
Thinking of finding gold
They find nothing

What can they tell the captain?
Without it they can't go on board
So in the woods they camped
The fire burning

Tomorrow they hope
The clear sky a new direction
They really want to go home
Too many nights in the woods
