Closing In On the Fire - Tony Joe White, Lucinda Williams

In the heat of the night we were feeling right

Closing in on the fire

Nothing left to hide, we were burnin' inside

Closing in on the fire

We were movin' to the left, movin' to the right

Move move all night long

We were reachin' out, reachin' in

Closing in on the fire

I’ll never forget we were into the sweat

Kept on climbin' higher

We had the right stuff, couldn’t get enough

Closing in on the fire

We were reachin' up, reachin' down

Closing in on the fire

We were burnin' it up, burnin' it down

Closing in on the fire

We couldn’t let it go, it was out of control

We were in way over our heads

You must sacrifice, you will pay the price

When you’re in way over your head

We were shakin' it up, shakin' it down

Shake, shake all night long

It was raw to the up, raw to the down

Raw, raw to the bone
