  • Light up with me, my dear
    Light up
    Under stormy night, tell nobody

    My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?
    I heard that you missed your connecting flight
    To the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee

    You're ever welcome with me any time you like
    Let's drive to the country side
    Leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes
    So no one gets worried, no
    So no one gets worried, no

    But, Sean, don't get callous
    I'm sure it'll be fine
    I love you, I love you
    Oh brother of mine

    In the quivering forest
    Where the shivering dog rests
    Our good grandfather
    Built a wooden nest
    And the river got frozen
    And the hole got snowed in
    And the yellow moon glowed bright
    'Til the morning light

    Terrible am I, child?
    Even if you don't mind

    In the quivering forest
    Where the shivering dog rests
    Our good grandfather
    Built a wooden nest
    And the river got frozen
    And the home got snowed in
    And the yellow moon glowed bright
    'Til the morning light

    Terrible am I, child?
    Even if you don't mind

  • Kristin from Atlanta, GaThis song is so beautiful and peaceful, its overwhelming. It something to listen to when you're having a hard day and most definitely on a camping trip or a nature walk for your ipod.
