Little Fire lyrics

My friend, come stand beside me Lately I'm feeling so lost If I came and washed the stones of the pathway And a hot Sun turned the mud to dust Calling the sheep in for the evening There's a voice calls above the howling wind It says come rest beside my little fire We'll ride out the storm that's coming in My friend, you know me and my family You've seen us wandering to these times You've seen us in weakness and in power You've seen us forgetful and unkind All that I want is one who knows me A kind hand on my face when I weep And I’d give back these things I know are meaningless For a little fire beside me when I sleep All that I want is one who knows me A kind hand on my face when I weep And I’d give back these things I know are meaningless For a little fire beside me when I sleep
