My dearest friend We've not much further to go We have followed this winding path At last, to the end of the road You whisper, please stay Just a little bit longer Like the ghost of a lover's kiss Why is parting such bitter bliss It's in moments like these From the depths of my soul That the roots of the past Spring new shoots and again take hold I remember old Brooklyn Dirty, factory town Lamplit cobblestone streets And the girls in their wrap coats and evening gowns There I learned my first lesson It still burns in my mind Nothing ever comes easy So, the future was mine I remember the gathering Men of science, men of fate When the future looked cloudy And the hour was late But my nerves were so steady That I knew we'd be fine With that iron of Sam's And that fire of mine I believe each man dances to his personal tune Mine was simple as can be - one consistent refrain Country, industry, family, were my sun, stars and moon If I could do it over, I would do it the same I remember us meeting I knew nothing of life In a flash, we had built us a home And I'd found me a wife That's when I felt my fortune For the very first time What a fuel you were, love For that fire that was mine From the east to the west coast Cross the country we roamed And each place that we landed We made that house a home I worked hard for the money Heaven knows how I tried All the profits were shared, yes But the fire was all mine I think time is a marvel Just where does one begin All the sights to admire all the battles to win And when out come the gray times, when the wolf's at the door We just keep out his baying, staying hungry for more And oh, my friend We have come such a long way So far, in fact, that I find There's not much left to say Only one last refrain, dear One more mountain to climb As I soak up the shine And that breeze, so divine This I know! That the fire The fire, has to be mine
