lyrics

I saw a fire burning brightly by the riverside
I bummed a smoke / split it in two / and watched the sparks get high
I stood there laughing with my friends and looked into those coals
Some kind of sadness gaped across the void into my soul

I beheld / the afterglow

I saw a fire burning brightly by the riverside
Christina took me to the place she said her sister died
We talked about what we show / We lied about the things we hide
It broke my brain to see the light gone from my brother’s eyes

I gazed upon / the afterglow

"past where they paint the houses / past the place the river bends"
can’t see what lies beyond / but i see the sorrows of my friends
those fading angels out for a long drive on a dead end road
"past where the silo stands" / i’m looking for the lighter load
