A CAMPFIRE SONG continued
words & music Natalie Merchant / Christian Burial Music © 1987

something is out of reach
something he wanted
something is out of reach
he's being taunted
something is out of reach
that he can' beg or steal nor can he buy

his oldest pain
and fear in life

there'll not be time
his oldest pain
and fear in life
there'll not be time

a lie to say "o, my forest has trees that block the sun
and when I cut them down I don't answer to anyone"
no, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray
no devil or redeemer can cheat him
he'll take his gold where he's lying cold
six deep in the grave
