| 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 |
