Just a log on your fire, that's all you desire
To warm you at night and keep you from harm
A barrel to your gun
A barrel to your gun, that's all I'll become
When you wandered away from that day in the rain
A pawn in your game
Just a pawn in your game, that's all I became
When you started to play with my burning desire
A log on your fire
Well__, I've got news for you
And I hope you can use it to advantage
The past is all gone
And the future has now to be managed
Bearing that in mind, I've decided to decline
Your generous offer of marriage
I won't regret it, I won't let it get me down
A jewel in your crown, think of me that way
In future when they say, 'How've you been? What's your tale?'
I'll be the wind in your sail
The wind in your sail, but I'm sailing away
Like a bird on the wing, flying higher and higher
Baby, better put a big log on your fire
The wind in your sail, but I'm sailing away
Like a bird on the wing, flying higher and higher
Baby, better put a big log__ on your fire
