Fire in the Sand

[Intro] Hey—ha, hey—ha Come closer, come closer [Verse 1: Female A] You left your silver ring Beside the kitchen glass I turn it with my thumb And watch the hours pass [Verse 1: Female B] I found your handwritten map Folded beneath the door One road cuts through the fields One ends where we were before [Pre-Chorus: Both] If you call, I won’t ask why If you run, I’ll match your stride Count to four, unlock the gate We are done with waiting late [Chorus: Both] Run with me, run with me Past the orchard, past the sea Hey—ha, hey—ha, raise your hands We’re the fire in the sand Run with me, run with me Leave the key beneath the tree Hey—ha, hey—ha, sing it loud Pull the lost ones from the crowd [Verse 2: Female A] Your red coat caught the rain At the corner by the mill You laughed at all my plans Then you asked me to be still [Verse 2: Female B] I kept the paper bird You made from grocery lists Its wings are bent but strong Like the promise in your fist [Pre-Chorus: Both] If you call, I won’t ask why If you run, I’ll match your stride Count to four, unlock the gate We are done with waiting late [Chorus: Both] Run with me, run with me Past the orchard, past the sea Hey—ha, hey—ha, raise your hands We’re the fire in the sand Run with me, run with me Leave the key beneath the tree Hey—ha, hey—ha, sing it loud Pull the lost ones from the crowd [Bridge: Female A] No more circles on the floor No more sleeping by the phone [Bridge: Female B] Take the map and take my hand Make this borrowed road our own [Bridge: Group Chant] Hey—ha! Hey—ha! Step together, don’t look back! Hey—ha! Hey—ha! Bring the quiet heartbeat back! [Final Chorus: Both and Group] Run with me, run with me Past the orchard, past the sea Hey—ha, hey—ha, raise your hands We’re the fire in the sand Run with me, run with me Leave the key beneath the tree Hey—ha, hey—ha, sing it loud Pull the lost ones from the crowd [Outro] Hey—ha, hey—ha Come closer, come closer Hey—ha, hey—ha We are already gone
