Little Fire Lyrics - Downtown Church - Patty Griffin

My friend, come stand beside me 

Lately, I'm feeling so lost 

A flood came and washed the stones of the path away 

And a hot sun turned the mud to dust 

Calling the sheep in for the evening 

There's a voice, calls above the howling wind 

It says comes rest beside my little fire 

We'll ride out the storm that's coming in 

My friend, you know me and my family 

You've seen us wandering through these times 

You've seen us in weakness and in power 

You've seen us forgetful and unkind 

All that I want is one who knows me 

A kind hand on my face when I weep 

And I'd give back these things I know are meaningless 

For a little fire beside me when I sleep
