(Intro) Stones in the ground, fire in the air You and me, we stack it — drop it right here Three, two, one — let’s run it (Verse 1) Leaves turn amber, air cut clean like a blade You drag the river rock, I take the weight, no shade We’re diggin’ backyard dirt under a low, dyin’ sun Carvin’ out a circle where the cold nights come to run Granite edges kissin’, every piece lock tight You set the next one while the day give up the light Blistered hands, steady pace, we stack it ring by ring Heart in the ground, that’s the real thing we buildin’ (Hook) Round and round the stones go down Heart we layin’ in the ground Sparks jump up, stories stay We hold the autumn chill at bay Ring by ring, stackin’ the fire Late-night songs when the dark get higher You and me, this the weekend move Smoke in the air, cedar in the groove (Verse 2) Cedar lift in the smoke, cider in your cup Waitin’ on the weekend when the whole block pull up Sweater weather callin’, shadows stretch long Every heavy stone we drop already know where it belong You pass me the next rock, I set it in the line We talkin’ real quiet while the daylight die Flames start flickerin’, paint our faces gold Harvest moon above us, let the night take hold Bring the heavy blankets, pull a chair in close Little quiet magic in the autumn smoke Neighbors pullin’ up slow, laughin’ through the dark This the spot we built, this the spot we mark (Bridge) Yeah, we didn’t need no blueprint, just the stones and the night You on one side, me on the other, lockin’ it tight Sparks hittin’ the dark like they tryin’ to stay We built somethin’ simple that don’t fade away When the leaves all gone and the cold settle in This the circle we made, this where we begin again (Hook) Round and round the stones go down Heart we layin’ in the ground Sparks jump up, stories stay We hold the autumn chill at bay Ring by ring, stackin’ the fire Late-night songs when the dark get higher You and me, this the weekend move Smoke in the air, cedar in the groove (Outro) Around the stones, around the glow Where the best of all the seasons go Just you and me and the fire we made Watchin’ the weekend slowly fade
