One by one we jumped the wire With a lendin' hand to inspire Both the artist and the writer As timber fed the fire Gently now, as the night falls.. We take our turns around the bottle I can tell.... by the way you smile That we've got a good thing.... going on Spread out along the open shore The water's quiet as a mirror Just soft enough so we could hear Reflections from long before But gently now, as night falls... We take our turns around the bottle I can tell... by the way you smile That we've got a good thing... going on There were many dark and lonely days 'til you all came a running by To dry a tear from my face Hadn't felt the fresh air in a while Gently now, as the night falls We take our turns around the bottle I can tell... by the way you smile That we've got... a good thing going on
