Born from the night in the roaring wind

Cast out of the shadows by an unknown hand

Warmed by the light of these falling limbs

drunk on the sadness of a universe unmanned

Across the water she clings to me

and in the rising karma I feel her at my side

My father's singing in the fallin' leaves

about the complicated beauty of a river run dry

Sit down by the fire

Sit down by the fire

It's hard to say

but I think you'd better

just Say you don't love me

you don't love me anymore

I been waiting in line

now I know I'll never

Overcome this madness

if I don't know for sure

Across the water she clings to me

and in the light of dawn

I see her at my side

and my father's singing in the fallin' leaves

there's no way out of this old world even if you try

So just sit down by the fire

sit down by the fire

there ain't no way to get what I want

Sit down by the fire

oh, sit down by the fire

There ain't no way to get what I want

Some day

a little rain is bound to fall

Some day

a little rain is bound to fall

Some day

a little rain is bound to fall

Some day

Over my head my heart and my feet

I'm drawn insane

you know I need you now

Over my head my heart and my feet

I'm drawn insane

Sit down by the fire love

sit down by the fire

there ain't no way to get what I want

Sit down by the fire love

sit down by the fire

there ain't no way to get what I want.

Oh, there ain't no way to get what I want.

"The complicated beauty of a river run dry"Totally nicked that line from a Shriekback song. But that's OK - only The Veils have any business nicking lines from Shriekback songs.

@lllpatricklll I was actually just about to say the same thing about this song, love the strong vibrant guitar play and with its poetic verses its definitely a song you can feel. Thank you Pandora

@tribeworld1 - i constantly try and unravell lyrics for their meaning, because most lyrics mean something that you wouldn't even think of, this song to me represent's suffering and or heartbreak, "sit down by the fire, there ain't no way to get what i want. River run dry." Basically it's an give up song, you know like a breakup song so to speak. At least that's what i got out of it. But actually it's really amazing because it's so beautiful this song i mean.
