Sleeping free on mountain sides
Tobacco sunset frames my every sight
In an hour the sun will die
I’m on my knees to kiss the ground goodbye
So farewell to a stranger
I’ll take a match and with my brothers I am gonna make a fire tonight



Getting lost in open land
I know this place just like I knew the man
Raise the tent and settle down
Sit with me and lift your glass of tan
We’re drinking to a stranger
I’ll take some wood and with my brothers I am gonna make a fire tonight

​

My soul is drifting tonight
I can almost touch your hand
We’ve never been so close as now

​

My eyes are wet but I’m still laughing out
We’re seeing off a stranger
I’ll take this moment with my brothers and I am gonna make a fire tonight
We’re gonna make a fire tonight
