lyrics
I stoke up the fire, and stare beyond the flames
A chill in my heart, that the warmth can’t drive away
What-ifs and maybes, the guilt and the shame uneasily joust in my thoughts
Family and love, honour and pride, the churn of a life how heavy it weighs
A knock at the door when none should be abroad
At this time of night, only trouble stalks the land
The lightning cracks and the thunder rolls, like a scene from the tale of a bard
I pad to the door and nervously crack it open, and there you stand
These bones may be old, but there’s a fire in our soul
Though we may not match up, to the power of our youths
We’ve grown along the way
Certainties melt like snow
Wisdom is questions, life is questions
I still can’t believe that you’ve finally found a way home
The night was dark, and you’d wandered all alone
Missing in action, we’d left you for dead, we’d mourned you with a song
White as a ghost, with faraway eyes, you stood there cold as a stone
I’ll stoke up the fire and we’ll talk of days gone by
Those glory days spent in old campaigns
Memories burnished by time, they glow with the years
History reaches out it’s bony hands and takes the reins
These bones may be old, but there’s a fire in our soul
Though we may not match up, to the power of our youths
We’ve grown along the way
Certainties melt like snow
Wisdom is questions, life is questions
I’ll stoke up the fire and we’ll talk of days gone by
A chill in my heart, that the warmth can’t drive away
What-ifs and maybes, the guilt and the shame uneasily joust in my thoughts
Family and love, honour and pride, the churn of a life how heavy it weighs
A knock at the door when none should be abroad
At this time of night, only trouble stalks the land
The lightning cracks and the thunder rolls, like a scene from the tale of a bard
I pad to the door and nervously crack it open, and there you stand
These bones may be old, but there’s a fire in our soul
Though we may not match up, to the power of our youths
We’ve grown along the way
Certainties melt like snow
Wisdom is questions, life is questions
I still can’t believe that you’ve finally found a way home
The night was dark, and you’d wandered all alone
Missing in action, we’d left you for dead, we’d mourned you with a song
White as a ghost, with faraway eyes, you stood there cold as a stone
I’ll stoke up the fire and we’ll talk of days gone by
Those glory days spent in old campaigns
Memories burnished by time, they glow with the years
History reaches out it’s bony hands and takes the reins
These bones may be old, but there’s a fire in our soul
Though we may not match up, to the power of our youths
We’ve grown along the way
Certainties melt like snow
Wisdom is questions, life is questions
I’ll stoke up the fire and we’ll talk of days gone by
