Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] My hands are cracked and shaking Cold climbs up my sleeve The midnight air is waiting To teach my lungs to leave But you lean close Your shoulders Glow red against the dawn The dark can have my body The flame is keeping on [Chorus] By the firepit burning strong I see fire Dancing in your quiet eyes Rising higher If the night keeps dragging on Let it tire By the firepit burning strong I see fire [Verse 2] Your coffee’s gone to embers The cup still warms your palms You tell me tired stories In half-forgotten psalms My teeth still clack like matches My breath hangs like a ghost But every word you whisper Turns closer into hope [Chorus] By the firepit burning strong I see fire Dancing in your quiet eyes Rising higher If the night keeps dragging on Let it tire By the firepit burning strong I see fire [Bridge] Let the frost take the chairs Let the wind shake the trees (oh, my love) If there’s ash in the air There is warmth on your sleeve I am tired I am torn Yet I’m drawn to this glow If I lose every star You’re the one thing I know [Chorus] By the firepit burning strong I see fire Dancing in your quiet eyes Rising higher If the dark keeps holding on Let it try her By the firepit burning strong I see fire By the firepit burning strong I see fire
