they're standing at the fireside

in the light

so bright

side by side

side by side
at the fireside

the fire's burning bright

so bright

burning bright
shedding light
into the night
so bright

the fires are alight

in the night

they've lit the fires in the night

side by side
in the light
at the fireside

they burn the fires
they've lit the fires
they're standing in the light

so bright
side by side

at the fireside

the fires are burning bright

the fires
are
alight
in
the
night
burning
bright

side by side

they listen to the night

side by side

they watch the fires
burning bright
through the night
the fires are alight
in the night
they listen

side by side

so bright

side by side

they talk into the night
they sleep
at the fireside
side by side they listen
deep into the night

they watch
the fires
burning
bright

they sit and listen
to the night
side by side
through the night
at the fireside

they listen to the night
they listen to the light
they listen to the fire

burning
bright
through
the
night
so
bright
side
by
side

they burn the fires
they light the light

they talk
and
listen
to
the night

they hear the fire
burning bright
they sit and watch
the night
side by side

at the fireside

the fire's burning bright

into the night

they're sitting in the light

so bright

they light their fires in the night

the fires are alight

they listen to the night

side by side

they keep the fires alight

side by side

they keep their fires
burning bright
they light their fires
through the night
the light is bright
at their fireside

so light

side by side

so bright

at their fireside

they keep their fires alight

they burn into the night

they're standing in the light

so bright

at their fireside

in
the
night
their
fires
are
alight

the fire's
burning bright
shedding light
into the night

they stand at the fireside
