Little Fire (Feat. Emmylou Harris)

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
