My campfire lights up in the night,
Sparks fade as they fly...
No one meets us in the night,
And we part on the bridge.

My campfire burns amidst the fog
Sparks fade away in flight
Noone will come to meet us here

Explanation:
Through night's fog the campfire glitters,
Sparks extinguished in cold air,
Empty darkness gives us jitters,
We will part, and all is fair...
