Come Gather from Come Gather by Annie Bryant

Come gather
Come gather
There's work to be done
Make a bundle
Take an armful
Together it's fun
Once gathered we'll warm by the fire…..everyone

Each giant limb we heave from the forest floor
Tells us a tale of a mighty rise and fall
Cold hands on bark
Together we march
A new story forged by the flames

Come gather
Come gather
There's work to be done
Make a bundle
Take an armful
Together it's fun
Once gathered we'll warm by the fire…..everyone

We work while the sun fades into the coming night
We know within wood lies a merry dance of light
First just a spark
A flicker in the dark
Then a night filled with laughter and song

Come gather
Come gather
The work has been done
Come gather
Come gather
There's songs to be sung
Once gathered we'll sing by the fire…..everyone

As the coals gently glow and my soul starts to tire
Wrapped in the warmth of a slow fading fire
My eyes start to close
As I drift to and fro
And I wake in my bed from the dream of a fire
(yes I wake in my bed from the dream of a fire)
And my hair shares the smell of good times round the fire
(And my hair shares the smell of good times round the fire)
Yes we'll always find warmth by the light of the fire

Come gather
Come gather

Come gather
Come gather
There's work to be done
Make a bundle
Take an armful
Together it's fun
Once gathered we'll sleep by the fire…..everyone
Once gathered we'll sleep by the fire…..everyone
