Lyrics

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
