[Verse 1: Male] The fifth of November, your scarf at my door, We carry the lanterns and bowls to the square. You saved me a place by the old garden wall; I saved you the last of the gingerbread there. [Verse 2: Female] The neighbours bring chairs, little ones count, Each spark in the sky as it climbs from the ground. Your hand finds my hand when the first colours bloom; Warm voices gather, and laughter fills the room. [Pre-Chorus: Duet] No one stands alone tonight, Every window answers bright. [Chorus: Duet] Come close, come share this fire, Let every heart rise a little higher. For the guy, for the friends, for the ones who came, We keep each other warm beneath the November flame. [Verse 3: Male] A paper cup steams in the cold evening air, You tell the old story; the children lean near. A spark draws a ribbon, then fades into blue; The best part of winter is standing with you. [Pre-Chorus: Female] No one stands alone tonight, Every window answers bright. [Chorus: Duet] Come close, come share this fire, Let every heart rise a little higher. For the guy, for the friends, for the ones who came, We keep each other warm beneath the November flame. [Bridge: Duet] When the last bright flower slips out of sight, We’ll walk home together through the frosty night. Keep a place at the table, keep a light in the pane; There’s room for another when the cold comes again. [Final Chorus: Duet] Come close, come share this fire, Let every heart rise a little higher. For the guy, for the friends, for the ones who came, We keep each other warm beneath the November flame. We keep each other warm beneath the November flame. [Outro: Duet] The fifth of November, your scarf at my door, And warmth in the welcome we leave for one more.
