| | From Days BROTHER, I am fire | |
| Surging under the ocean floor. | |
| I shall never meet you, brother | |
| Not for years, anyhow; | |
| Maybe thousands of years, brother. | 5 |
| Then I will warm you, | |
| Hold you close, wrap you in circles, | |
| Use you and change you | |
| Maybe thousands of years, brother. | | | | |
