Logs of locust cedar splits
I offer sweat and splinters
Forest elders breathe their last
I'll bring them for your supper
Every piece of wood I bring
Carries a story in
Lichen fungus beetles maze
It's the same to you all a -blaze
When you...
Burn burn with the light of the morning's birth
Burn burn with the heat at the heart of the earth
Burn burn with the light that reveals our faces
Burn burn with the heat that will warm these places
Some may fear your endless greed
But not me no not me
Some may fear your appetite
But I'm at home in your light
Fiery fingers curling 'round
Flaming tongues a-flutter
Promise you will warm my bed
I'll satisfy your hunger
If you...
Burn burn with the light of the morning's birth
Burn burn with the heat at the heart of the earth
Burn burn with the light that reveals our faces
Burn burn with the heat that will warm these places
First the tinder light and thin
The chill of winter's creeping in
I'm stacking sticks on bended knee
So you will keep me company
I'll bring you branches feed you logs
So soon this wood will all be gone
I'll build you a lovely home
I'll leave you lots of breathing room
Logs of locust cedar splits
I offer sweat and splinters
