Bonfire - Brett Dennen

The rain is on his head

And my love is out on the ledge

Get to the bonfire and get undressed

My boots are caked with clay

These clothes are loose

And my appetite’s gone

We’ll through them in the bonfire where we belong

All of us shaking

Wounded and naked

Like a sunburned kiss

We are changing

Fighting for the same thing

With the light that lifts

And I wanna know you for the way you are

Not the way I am

So let’s go now

Back to the bonfire where we began

I slope back into my tinted shade

To shake out the vertigo

You know, the only one who got any sleep last night was

A grumpy volcano

Up before the drunks come home

With sleep still in out eyes

To see another bonfire bleed in the sky

All of us shaking

Wounded and naked

Like a sunburned kiss

We are changing

Fighting for the same thing

With the light that lifts

And I wanna know you for the way you are

Not the way I am

So let’s go now

Back to the bonfire where we began

Back to the bonfire where we began

I remember you were there, holding up the universe

I watched the wind playing with your hair

And that love had run it’s course

Why’s there only one word for love and all of it’s beautiful curses?

All of us shaking

Wounded and naked

Like a sunburned kiss

We are changing

Fighting for the same thing

With the light that lifts

And I wanna know you for the way you are

Not the way I am

So let’s go now

Back to the bonfire where we began

Back to the bonfire where we began

Back to the bonfire where we began
