Lyrics
The fire's down to embers and the sky's going grey Four of us in sleeping bags, dreaming of the day The tin pot is rattling, the coffee's coming on And somebody's humming the end of last night's song Steam rises off the mugs like a prayer Frost on the van and the mountains out there Nobody talking, nobody needs to Mornings like this are the best thing we do Oh, pass the coffee round, the sun is coming slow Warm hands, warm hearts, and a long road to go We don't have much but we have this early light Four friends and a fire that made it through the night Oh, pass the coffee round, we're all still here Another day of living, another year The drummer's got his boots on the wrong feet again The singer's trying to find his lost harmonica pen We laugh till we cough in the cold morning air Nothing in the world that we'd trade for this chair Oh, pass the coffee round, the sun is coming slow Warm hands, warm hearts, and a long road to go We don't have much but we have this early light Four friends and a fire that made it through the night Oh, pass the coffee round, we're all still here Another day of living, another year Somebody leave a light on, somebody stay Till the dawn comes in softly and we all drive away Oh, pass the coffee round, the sun is coming slow Warm hands, warm hearts, and a long road to go We don't have much but we have this early light Four friends and a fire that made it through the night Oh, pass the coffee round, we're all still here Another day of living, another year Half past dawn and the fire's gone out But we've got each other, there's no doubt
