lyrics
Last night’s rain is clinging to each gust
Twigs snap underfoot with icy crust
Darkness creeping though the day is young
Gulping crispy air into your lungs
There are still a few more hills to climb
And the journey’s gonna take some time
But each holly berry makes you smile
It will only be a little while…
CHORUS: One long rest until the journey’s done
One more week until the songs are sung
One more league until the cup of cheer
One more day until your family’s near/here
Though we know there’s still some work required
On the coming hill you see the fire
On each windy tendril smell the smoke,
Hear the echoed laugh of happy folk
[Chorus]
Year’s end, snow fall
Raise your voice, one and all
Winter’s song, hear the call
You’ll see…
Hands clasped round a mug of cozy brew
Gathered loved ones glad to see you too
Offering hope that til the bonfires cease
We may spread a little winter peace
[Chorus]
