This longest night
come stay with me
I’ll meet you near the trees
out back
You always visit
in a dream
a soft sweet kiss
and then away
Consider this an invite
so fitting for the longest night
expected with the evening star
feel free to come just as you are
A solstice fire, a barren field
makes sure that you can find the way
I’ve dried the wood and kindling
hoping that this night you’ll stay
Look for me on the pretty blue rock
revolving ‘round the yellow star
See the fire in the yard
know that I’m expecting you
Dinner with a glass or two
Christmas like we used to do;
The children will be here next day
Of course I know; you cannot stay.
I’ll keep the fire burning bright
‘till dawning of the morning light;
I’ll build the fire just for you
this longest night; to see me through
.
