lyrics

The air turned cold and chill on the day that you left
So summer turned and the world moved on
Now that the shadows lengthen there’s a light at my door
To guide you home until the years end

I fear the gap in space in this empty room
The void inside amongst the gathering gloom
Your two old jumpers vie to keep the cold at bay
Alas Jack Frost... he’s won the day

Since the summer’s gone the nights have grown long
At least the dark is lit by pumpkin lanterns
I long for a day that you could return
I spent that autumn waiting for you

Can I look forward with hope and seasonal cheer
Share in the magic of the dying year
And head on out into the night and the crisp autumn air
Meet friends, relations and revellers there

Fireworks fly in the dark night sky
Ponder the fate of that poor old Guy
And the green man sleeps the long cold winter away
Until the cycle turns and spring comes again

The album now serves as an end-of-year collection of local music given away free at a chaotic launch gig. ... more
