Chorus: Rest for a while now the night is young The time is short and the road is long Tell me a story l'11 sing you a song For tomorrow the road wilt be calling us on Don't let your journey be stopped at the start There are times when your feet have to follow your heart But the faster you travel the less you can see And the more that you have the less you can be Chorus Look for the house with the smile at the door Where we sat round the table and danced on the floor Found warmth at the fire and came back for more There was grass on the chimney and a lock on the door Chorus So let the reel have its turn and the song its refrain And here's to the day when we all meet again And long may the sun shine wherever you are But you'll still need the darkness to show you the stars Chorus | ||
