We've been through this many times before Even so you just can't be sure Hear the crackling pyres burn Sacrifice for the light's return In the morning When it's still dark as under your pillow It's a warning The run down way you've been feeling low Feeling low Drink your hopes and eat your fears It's the longest night of the year You can bring the sunshine back again Back again You can bring the sunshine back again Wolves and monsters freely roam We cast no shadows anymore The air is cold and the light has gone Will this winter go on and on There's no dawning And the chill's seeping into your marrow Quit your yawning Sleep's for the weak and the weary-o Weary-o Drink your hopes and eat your fears It's the longest night of the year You can bring the sunshine back again Back again You can bring the sunshine back again If the sun is truly dead Maybe it won't be so bad We'll see stars in the afternoon Bats and owls and the constant moon Wind is blowing Take shelter here in this hollow Easy going Wait just a minute and take it slow Take it slow Drink your hopes and eat your fears It's the longest night of the year You can bring the sunshine back again Back again You can bring the sunshine back again Torches flare on the standing stones In the dark you are not alone Say a prayer for the chosen one Close your eyes now it won't be long
