It’s winter and the fire burns down
A dimming day; a log settles in
sparks fly up the chimney
I pull a blanket to my chin
at the end of this year’s days
Thank you for dinner; The dishes can wait
Our house is content; the cats have all been fed.
Just settle in beside me
And lay down your head.
at the end of this year’s days
This one wasn’t easy
We all wanted better days
But we laughed together
And looked at each other
I can say it was good.
at the end of this year’s days.
Dancing together, singing a song
at the end of this year’s days
We laughed together
And looked at each other
I can say it was good.
at the end of this year’s days.
I will finish my book, and write just one more song,
I will tell you that I love you, Like I did all year long
Only one more day this year
Keep things simple keep them clear
At the end of this year’s days
at the end of this year’s days.
