ONE WINTER NIGHT

The year is growin' olden
As the kitchen fire burns
It's warmth and bright
Reflected light
Makes me stop a while to yearn

Oh, how I long
For days gone by
For all the moments lost
In foolish and such mad pursuits
So dear has been the cost

If I had but
One single prayer
My heart would wish
Ye here, not there
And if I could
Just one time more
Kiss that dear worn cheek
Goin' out the door

What is it 'bout
The year to end
That makes us long
To be with friends?
To gaze once more
On faces gone
Forgotten loved ones
Now passed on...

With melancholia
Comes the night
The clear cold haze
Winter starlight
The moon a snowglobe
In the sky
Hovering overhead
As the wind howls by

With pristine whiteness
Falls the snow
The moon and stars
Soon lose their glow
Swirling, whirling
Flakes that dance
In a wintery scene
Of pure romance...

The Springtime blooms
Are full of life
The Summer lush and sweet
Fall's harvest so abundant
We can have our fill to eat
But Winter and its solitude
Drives us to look inside
Ourselves and long lost secrets
We once thought best to hide

The fire's going out now
Embers slowly fade and die
Soon the thin and pale wintery sun
Will rise up in the sky
And I who have been up the night
My melancholia fed
Will dream a wintery fastasy
From the safe warmth of my bed...
