| We’ve been through this many times before
|
| Even so, you just can’t be sure
|
| Hear the crackling pyres burn
|
| Sacrifice for the light’s return
|
| In the mornin'
|
| When it’s still darkest under your pillow
|
| It’s the warnin'
|
| The rundown where you been feelin' low
|
| Feelin' low
|
| Drink your hopes and eat your fears
|
| It’s the longest night of the year
|
| You can’t bring the sunshine back again
|
| Back again
|
| You can’t bring the sunshine back again
|
| Wolves and monsters freely roam
|
| We cast no shadows anymore
|
| The air is cold and the light has gone
|
| Will this winter go on and on?
|
| There’s no dawning
|
| The chill’s seeping into your marrow
|
| Quit your yawning
|
| Sleep’s for the weak and the weary, oh
|
| Weary, oh
|
| Drink your hopes and eat your fears
|
| It’s the longest night of the year
|
| You can’t bring the sunshine back again
|
| Back again
|
| You can’t bring the sunshine back again
|
| If the sun is truly dead
|
| Maybe it won’t be so bad
|
| We’ll see stars in the afternoon
|
| Bats and owls and the constant moon
|
| Wind is blowin'
|
| Take shelter here in this hollow
|
| Easygoing
|
| Wait just a minute and take it slow
|
| Take it slow
|
| Drink your hopes and eat your fears
|
| It’s the longest night of the year
|
| You can’t bring the sunshine back again
|
| Back again
|
| You can’t bring the sunshine back again
|
| Torches flare on the standing stones
|
| In the dark you are not alone
|
| Say a prayer for the chosen one
|
| Close your eyes, now it won’t be long |
