"Quiet Houses"

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

No
