Fire At Midnight Lyrics - Songs From The Wood - Jethro Tull

I believe in fires at midnight --- 

when the dogs have all been fed. 

A golden toddy on the mantle --- 

a broken gun beneath the bed. 

Silken mist outside the window. 

Frogs and newts slip in the dark --- 

too much hurry ruins the body. 

I'll sit easy ... fan the spark 

kindled by the dying embers of another working day. 

Go upstairs, take off your makeup --- 

fold your clothes neatly away. 

Me, I'll sit and write this love song 

as I all too seldom do --- 

build a little fire this midnight. 

It's good to be back home with you.

Kindled by the dying embers of another working day. 

Go upstairs, take off your makeup --- 

fold your clothes neatly away. 

Me, I'll sit and write this love song 

as I all too seldom do --- 

build a little fire this midnight. 

It's good to be back home with you.
