Lyrics

There ain't a lot
in this cold lonely spot
A rusty fire gnaws on our soul

Let's find us some stones
and let's build us a bridge
Working together we will

Let's walk across the water 
And skip across the bay 
And when we reach the ocean 
Let's stay 

Let's stay the night 
Stay the night 

You brought us new blankets
Across the old broken tracks 
We shared them the best that we could 

Desperate men, freezing rain,
these trying times, numbing pain
It's a miracle you returned, yet you did 

And all those things we once had
Now all lost it seems so sad 
But there's glimmers of light if you see 
When the going got bad
you never got mad 
You've given me a chance to be me 

If you stir the soup
well then I'll wash the pot 
We'll sing a couple songs for the kids 

Let's stoke the fire high,
pack a blanket warm and dry 
Farewell to this place,
let's bid 

Let's walk across the water 
And skip across the bay 
And when we reach the ocean 
Let's stay 
Let's stay the night 
Stay the night
