LYRICS
Solstice Song
by Alouette Iselin
CHORUS
Let me come in and share your light,
For I’m without a friend tonight,
Let me come in and share your light,
And a warm place by your fire.
It looks so golden warm within,
Sheltered from the winter wind,
Songs and laughter, friends and kin
Have brought me to your door.
Open your door, for here I stand,
My only gift is my empty hand,
And empty heart and broken plans,
This dark day of the year.
I am without a home today,
And soon I will be on my way,
I only ask you to let me stay,
For an hour by your fire.
