Simple Winter Song

(Dec. 16, 2010)  Sing a simple winter song
When day is short and night is long
Sing a simple winter song

Now the cold is at the door
The ancient time has come once more
Sing a simple winter song

Branch is bare
Air is chill
Moonlight soft as pine
Holly green
Grey-blue sky
Come see the rising sun!
Sun for fire and food and warmth
Want and fear dispels
Dark can flee the light we burn
Hope’s goodwill prevails

Sing a simple winter song
The bleakest night won’t last for long
Sing a simple winter song

Sing a simple winter song
Despair is short and joy is long

Sing a simple winter song
