Building Me A Fire

Steve Forbert

Well, I'm lonely now
More than I used to be
I need more from you
More than you need from me
Well, I'm stranded here
But I don't need to be

So I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave you
So I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave you
Now I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave... you

Well, my solitude
Sure gave me peace of mind
It may all... the crooked ways
That much harder to find
But they're all I knew
Became a memory

So I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave you
Now I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave you
So I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave... you

Well, I'm stranded here
But I don't need to be

So I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave you
So I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave you
Now I'm building me a fire and
The smoke's gonna leave... you

Well, I'm lonely now
Well, I'm lonely now
Well, I'm lonely now
