Longest Night of the Year

We've been through this many times before
Even so you just can't be sure
Hear the crackling pyres burn
Sacrifice for the light's return

In the morning
When it's still dark as under your pillow
It's a warning
The run down way you've been feeling low
Feeling low

Drink your hopes and eat your fears
It's the longest night of the year
You can bring the sunshine back again
Back again
You can bring the sunshine back again

Wolves and monsters freely roam
We cast no shadows anymore
The air is cold and the light has gone
Will this winter go on and on

There's no dawning
And the chill's seeping into your marrow
Quit your yawning
Sleep's for the weak and the weary-o
Weary-o

Drink your hopes and eat your fears
It's the longest night of the year
You can bring the sunshine back again
Back again
You can bring the sunshine back again

If the sun is truly dead
Maybe it won't be so bad
We'll see stars in the afternoon
Bats and owls and the constant moon

Wind is blowing
Take shelter here in this hollow
Easy going
Wait just a minute and take it slow
Take it slow

Drink your hopes and eat your fears
It's the longest night of the year
You can bring the sunshine back again
Back again
You can bring the sunshine back again

Torches flare on the standing stones
In the dark you are not alone
Say a prayer for the chosen one
Close your eyes now it won't be long
