Lyrics
Cold night at the edge of the woods A fire burning in the yard My father split the logs this morning His hands are old and hard Sparks go up into the dark Like little stars set free He hands me a mug of cocoa And says, sit down by me The fire is low The night is long Stay a while, the fire is warm Wood smoke on my sleeve Nobody has to say a word Just sit here and believe Stay a while, the stars are out The old chairs creak and sway We will remember this some day When we are far away He tells me of the winters When the snow came up to the door I have heard it twenty times And I would hear it more The fire is low The night is long Stay a while, the fire is warm Wood smoke on my sleeve Nobody has to say a word Just sit here and believe Stay a while, the stars are out The old chairs creak and sway We will remember this some day When we are far away The last log falls Embers glow red He pats my shoulder once And that is all he said Stay a while, the fire is warm Wood smoke on my sleeve Nobody has to say a word Just sit here and believe Stay a while, the stars are out The old chairs creak and sway We will remember this some day When we are far away Wood smoke on my sleeve Lights low
