Lyrics
Solstice
The pine is on the wind tonight
The snow is in the forest
The moon is full and shines so bright
I can?t express my love
We light the stove and gather close
You clatter in the pantry
We spread the maps and stoke the coals
I can?t express my love
Chorus:
The shortest day, the darkest night
The wind is smart and cold
We?ve gone around the sun again
And we are young and old
Yes we are young and old tonight
It takes a little peppermint
To find the heart of Sweden
You spread the flour and dust your chin
I can?t express my love
It takes a little cardamom
I drink a toast to Ireland
You soak the almonds in the rum
I can?t express my love
Chorus
Instrumental
Chorus
It takes a little sip of gin
The final spin, you bake it in:
You?re on your way to Africa
I can?t express my love
It takes a little scent of pine
A drift of snow, a moon to shine
We fold the maps, and sip the wine
I can?t express my love
Chorus
