[Verse 1] I sit alone, throw the blanket off my shoulders Tea steam curling while the evening’s getting colder Old wood cracks, hear a laugh from way back Little sparks say the things we never said back [Chorus] Fire in the hearth, keep watch while we sleep When the words run short and the promises get deep If you’re somewhere out there, lost in somebody’s day Let that fire call you home, let it show you the way [Verse 2] Photographs crooked on the wall in the hallway Your eyes know the corners, still looking my way Smoke draws plans that we never got to finish Time took the map, but the memory’s still in it [Chorus] Fire in the hearth, keep watch while we sleep When the words run short and the promises get deep If you’re somewhere out there, lost in somebody’s day Let that fire call you home, let it show you the way [Bridge] Come a little closer, even if it’s in your mind Just one more moment, leave the fear behind Let the crackling wood drown the silence in the room If you can’t come back yet, I’ll leave a door unclosed [Freestyle Break] Roll through the night with the old days riding shotgun No big speech, just a light left on Every mile, every mile, that flame stays true There’s a place at the table still waiting for you [Chorus] Fire in the hearth, keep watch while we sleep When the words run short and the promises get deep If you’re somewhere out there, lost in somebody’s day Let that fire call you home, let it show you the way [Outro] Door stays open, fire stays alive Whenever you’re ready, you know where to drive
