Campfire Kansas (live at Cirque Royal, Belgium, 2009)
Woke up at eight, started a fire Had a few drinks, we all felt inspired Jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens The water is bitter cold Laid in the raft till it started moving The current just sang, the song was so soothing We stopped along the way On a beach in the sun on a beautiful day Our boats collide, we feel the breeze We stay afloat and make the most of everything
By noon we had swung the ropes in the woods Missed all dangers, snakes and the floods Burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold Lunch had been saved along with the lighters Wet cigarettes serve us as reminders Never trust a man with food, change of clothes, And a drink in his hand Our boats collide, we feel the breeze We stay afloat and make the most of everything The sun will set, the stars would shine The trees would shake, we'd all feel fine Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
We'd laugh away the sunburn As we laughed away the day What we lost means nothing For the memories will stay
Caught the last bus, with no time to linger Driver seemed to be missing a finger I turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road And a beautiful day Our boats collide, we feel the breeze We stay afloat and make the most of everything The sun will set, the stars would shine The trees would shake, we'd all feel fine Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
