A Winter's Tale

Ivy tapping on my window, wine and candle glow
Skies that promise snow have gathered overhead
Buttered toast and creamy coffee, table laid for two
Lovely having you to share a smile with me
And it’s all right, sitting in firelight
Making the room bright, keeping us warm
Yes it’s so good, smelling that pine-wood
Burning like wood should, glowing like corn
On the wall the clock is chiming, hours passing by
And for you and I the wind sings winter songs
In the village people gather at the Lamplight Inn
Drinking liquid sin to keep the cold away
And it’s all right, sitting in firelight
Making the room bright, keeping us warm
Yes it’s so good, smelling that pine-wood
Burning like wood should, glowing like corn
