They say that spring will come again
|
No one knows exactly when.
|
Still the sun's a long lost friend
|
On the longest night of the year.
|
|
We stare into the firelight
|
While December beats outside
|
Where the darkest hearts reside
|
On the longest night of the year
|
|
So keep me safe and hold me tight
|
Let the candle burn all night
|
Tomorrow welcome back the night
|
It was longest night of the year
|
|
I used to think the world was small
|
Bright and shining like a ball
|
Seems I don't know much at all
|
On the longest night of the year
|
|
We press our faces to the glass
|
And see our little lives go past
|
Wave to shadows that we cast
|
On the longest night of the year
|
|
So keep me safe and hold me tight,
|
Let the candle burn all night,
|
Tomorrow welcome back the light.
|
'Twas the longest night of the year
|
|
Make a vow when Solstice comes:
|
To find the Light in everyone
|
Keep the faith and bang the drum
|
On the longest night of the year
|
|
So keep me safe and hold me tight,
|
Let the candle burn all night,
|
Tomorrow welcome back the light.
|
'Twas the longest night of the year
|
|
So keep me safe and hold me tight,
|
Let the candle burn all night,
|
Tomorrow welcome back the light.
|
After the longest night of the year
|
