The Longest Night of the Year

They say that spring will come again But 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 light 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 It was 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 It was the longest night of the year So keep me safe, hold me tight Let the candle burn all night Tomorrow welcome back the light After the longest night of the year
