Pensive song about looking for light when the days are dark. Something to listen to on the Winter solstice x

lyrics

Looking for light on the shortest of days
When the hedgerows start sleeping
And winter is creeping in

Promise myself I'll be mending my ways
As the nights become longer
The darkness grows stronger
The sky's weighing heavy and grey

Searching for fire on the coldest of nights
When there's frost on the ground
And no warmth to be found there

Hide under blankets and tuck them in tight
Feeling cold in my skin
As I'm empty within
The horizon is fading from sight

Oooooh
Oooooh

Catching my breath as the sun's standing still
Near the end of December
And all I'll remember's how
You tied my scarf when my fingers were chilled
I'll be keeping you near
Knowing time is a healer
The world becomes clearer again

Oooooh
Oooooh
On the shortest day
On the shortest day

Looking for light at the edge of the day
As the Earth changes leaning
And time has new meaning
