Lyrics Closing In On the Fire - Tony Joe White, Lucinda Williams

Closing In On the Fire

In the heat of the night we were feeling right
Closing in on the fire
Nothing left to hide, we were burnin' inside
Closing in on the fire
We were movin' to the left, movin' to the right
Move move all night long
We were reachin' out, reachin' in
Closing in on the fire
I’ll never forget we were into the sweat
Kept on climbin' higher
We had the right stuff, couldn’t get enough
Closing in on the fire
We were reachin' up, reachin' down
Closing in on the fire
We were burnin' it up, burnin' it down
Closing in on the fire
We couldn’t let it go, it was out of control
We were in way over our heads
You must sacrifice, you will pay the price
When you’re in way over your head
We were shakin' it up, shakin' it down
Shake, shake all night long
It was raw to the up, raw to the down
Raw, raw to the bone
