You live your life; you play it slow,
and then one day you let it go.
The fire flies; your fingers move;
The sparks fly hard; you feel it groove.
Submersed you are in the feel.
You feel the wood start to peel.
You feel the wood start to peel tonight.
You cry, you laugh, you shake your head.
This is fire; this is lead.
Oh I love this
My skin vibrates with the sound
Spinning round, upside down.
This is what I was born to do.
I will miss you.
Jungle rhythms beating might,
under cover of the night.
Pounding of the humid sky,
In ancient lands you'll hear this cry.
Echoed through the deepest caves,
Snaking rivers, shadowed glades
From your ancient people it came.
Where do you think you got your name?
Fire, Fire burning bright
Feel this heart; feel this light
Oh I love this.
My skin vibrates with the sound
Spinning round, upside down
This is what I was born to do
I will miss you; I will miss you
Rhythm is a tongue
Understood by everyone
Its pulsing takes you higher
Consumes you like a fire
You live your life; you play it slow
And then one day you let it go
The fire flies; your fingers move
The sparks fly hard; you feel it groove
You are submersed in the feel
You feel the wood start to peel
You feel the wood start to peel tonight.
You cry, you laugh, you shake your head
This is fire; this is lead
Oh I love this
My skin vibrates with the sound
Spinning round, upside down
This is what I was born to do
I will miss you
Rhythm is a tongue
Understood by everyone
Its pulsing takes you higher
Consumes you like a fire.

A take on Americana favorites that is at times dark and brooding, other times irreverent and rollicking but always searching for what's true and resonant in American folk songs. Debra Fotheringham
