May your holiday be safe and warm with the ardent halo of nostalgia.
lyrics
The snow comes down
With barely a sound, yet
Suddenly, everything has changed
The lights
Break up the long nights
A painting in every window frame
The ice will wind us 'round the fire
We're safe and warm within the glow
The jagged edges of the world outside
Are softened by the fallen snow
With ancient songs
We'll all sing along, in
Harmonies golden and strange
And sleep
With carousel dreams, and
Promises of the new day
The ice will wind us 'round the fire
We're safe and warm within the glow
The jagged edges of the world outside
Are softened by the fallen snow
As morning blooms
We'll spring from our rooms, and
Feel not a moment of gloom.
