Nestledown

Gathering clouds hang low Cold as the shadows grow Look with your red-rimmed eyes The others take to the skies There's mist in the air above So nestle down deep, my love We'll wait while the nights grow long Here where we both belong Pale, twinkling frost gleams white Lit by the cold sun's light Deep through the gorse we'll comb Warm in our heathland home There's snow in the air above So nestle down deep, my love We'll wait while the nights grow long Here where we both belong Sweet, yellow flowers in bloom Hung on the dark-green broom Hides our jewels out of sight Pale, smooth and glossy white There's warmth in the air above But nestle down deep, my love We'll wait while the days grow long Here where we both belong Songs through the hot day's light Fledgelings in bobbing flight Low across sun-baked sands Sprites of this humble land There's life in the air above So lift up your head, my love We'll sing while the days live long Here where we both belong There's life in the air above So lift up your head, my love We'll sing while the days live long Here where we both belong
