MIDSUMMER FIRES Midnight midsummer Sun won't leave the sky Here's a fire for the burning A light to lead the turning The turning of the sun Down the season's slide The burning of the sun That keeps us all alive The turning of the sun Down the season's slide Toward the harvesting of grain And the long white time Midsummer fires burn In my heart Midsummer fires burn Midsummer fires burn In my heart Midsummer fires burn Midnight midsummer Flames scrape through the sky Watch them catch On the horizon Watch them rise Higher and wilder In the shadows Of the flickering folds The embers fill the dusk With their rust and gold In the shadows Of the flickering folds Forge a purified world Out of the old Midsummer fires burn
In my heart Midsummer fires burn Midsummer fires burn In my heart Midsummer fires burn Midnight midsummer Sun won't leave the sky Here's a fire for the burning A light to lead the turning Stakes and twigs And garlands green Midsummer fires burn Birch and blossom Moss and leaves Midsummer fires burn Copper coins Old boats and barrels Midsummer fires burn Climb right up the Witch's ladder Midsummer fires burn Midsummer fires Midsummer fires Midsummer fires burn Build it up With bricks and beams Midsummer fires burn Douse it all With gasoline Midsummer fires burn Midsummer fires Midsummer fires Midsummer fires burn Keep feeding me Keep feeding me Till all I can see It's all I can see Lyrics 2004 Cynthia Conrad
