Just a Lot of Folk (The Marshmallow Song)

(Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips)

Just a lot of folk
Sittin' 'round the fire warming
Singing all the songs
Memory won't deny
Just a lot of fools
Sittin' 'round the fire fooling
Blow the marshmallow out
And dream a dream gone by

Oh the magic
Of an endless spell
Cosmic wonder
Mystery won't tell
Sailing in our circles
Waiting on the light
Trying to remember
In a dream that lasts forever

Just a lot of souls
Turning in a circle warming
Touching all the flames that reach
So deep within our eyes
Just a little light
Not enough for seeing
Just enough to make us seem
Important in the night

Oh the magic
Of an endless spell
Cosmic wonder
Mystery won't tell
Sailing in our circles
Waiting on the light
Trying to remember
In a dream that lasts forever

Just a lot of folk
Sittin' 'round the fire warming
Singing all the songs
Memory won't deny
Just a lot of fools
Sittin' round the fire fooling
Blow the marshmallow out
And dream a dream gone by
