Lyrics
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
